Department Store Trucks - Newberry's

Newberry's - Semi-Tractor-Trailer by Marx

This photo of the Yakima J.J. Newberry's department s tore was probably taken around 1950. The company stayed in business at least into the late 1980's. Shopping at a department s tore was fun for the whole family.

This be autiful 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.
