Department Store Trucks - Newberry's
Newberry's - Semi-Tractor-Trailer by Marx
|
This photo of the Yakima J.J. Newberry's department store was probably taken around 1950. The
company stayed in business at least into the late 1980's. Shopping at a department store was fun for the
whole family.
This beautiful truck is very hard to find in excellent or better condition. It is considered a private label
truck. A companion straight truck with the same color scheme and lithographs was also produced.
The cab lithos were excellent, but a mistake was made in printing the tire size on the door. As can be
seen at right, the actual tire size was supposed to be 10.00 x 20. The date of this toy is unknown.
