Original stamped folding post-binder salesman case w/ foldover flap snapped clasp w/ gilt lettering stamped on front minor rubbing shelfwear still a VG bright copy. First edition thus of this exceedingly scarce original salesman sample photo catalogue for the short-lived truck manufacturer. Founded originally in 1862 by Stewart Sr. who opened the business originally in Covington KY the company quickly grew and eventually divided into three separate corporations by 1902. The Stewart company cornered the market on cemetery fencing across America manufactured the heavy duty trucks used by the US Army during World War I and installed iron works and benches in New York City’s Central Park the light fixtures in Congress fencing and gates at the Panama Canal the jail cells at Alcatraz Sing-Sing and Leavenworth. These sales photographs illustrate many of the companies purchasing heavy trucks from the US Motor Truck Co. division following World War I. Depicted here are flatbed trucks for The Diem & Wing Paper Co. in Cincinnati OH; Julius J. Bantlin Co. Wholesale Automotive Equipment and Saddlery; panel trucks for Baking companies w/ delivery doors built into the sides; a freezer or ice truck for the Niser Ice Cream Co. featuring curved cab similar to trolleys and other rail cars; or a dump truck for T.W. Spinks Co. featuring a Lehigh lift bed. The Stewart Iron Works truck division would continue until 1928 and also was a key truck supplier for Dow Drug Stores the Cincinnati Enquirer Cincinnati Post Firestone Tire & Rubber Co. and many others. Kaufmann & Fabry was an active commercial photographic firm specializing in architectural photography in Chicago from before 1910 and are still an active company. Founders were Charles D. Kaufmann b. 1888 an Austrian-American and Herman Fabry 1879-1955 German-American who are perhaps best remembered as the official photographers of the 1933 Century of Progress World’s Fair and were awarded not only the rights for publishing and distributing photographs and photos in publications but also operated a camera shop and film processing lab on the Exhibition grounds through 1933 and 1934. No copies of similar photographic catalogues could be located in institutional holdings or Worldcat and in fact almost no contemporary sales literature of the short-lived United States Motor Truck Co. division appears to have survived.

Contemporary limp calf Proudfit Loose Leaf Co. post-binder brass screw-posts at gutter margin rounded corners minor rubbing VG exemplar. An exceptional dealer’s showroom photo catalogue for the post-World War I United Motors Products Co. filled with factory photos advertising a variety of 1 1/4 ton up to 5 ton models in assorted finished configurations. Founded originally as the United Motor Trucks Co. before World War I as a division of the United Light & Railways Col. conglomerate to not only produce trucks and utility vehicles for their own needs but to meet burgeoning demand brought on by improving roads and fast-growing commercial demands before and after World War I. By 1922 Hulswit Kanary and Eckburg were building and selling United Trucks powered by a four-cylinder Continental Engine the lightest model featuring a worm drive and the others often fitted still with chain drives moving to shaft drive and by 1925 would be manufacturing what they called the “Highway Special.†An artist’s rendering features a birds-eye view of the Grand Rapids MI plant bearing the name change in 1922 to United Motors Products Co. and subsequent images show stave flatbed delivery specialized dump trucks and more. Companies such as Henry Smith Floral Heyman Home Outfitters Van Den Berg Bros. Sample Furniture Grand Rapids Wood Finishing Co. Elston Packing & Storage Central Michigan Paper Co. Perfected Grave Vault Co. and others all featured fleets of UMP Co. Trucks. Many of these images bear the stamp of Eckberg Auto Co. of Grand Rapids which before 1916 was the Michigan Cadillac Co. Ltd. and later became truck distributor first for United Motor Products Co. and then ACME Truck Co. Hulswit 1875-1933 was the president and organizer of the United Light & Railways Co. which held 13 railroad and public service gas & electric utilities and corporations in five states and was forced out of his company in 1926. By that time Kanary had decamped to Hollywood California and the truck manufacturing unit was spun off to ACME Motor Truck Co. of Cadillac MI which continued the badge for a short time. Advertisements for their truck line cease by 1928. Hulswit had been forced out with a $ 10 million dollar payment which he parlayed into the successful American States Securities Corp. which survived and thrived during the Great Depression only to die tragically while fixing his radio antenna at the Hotel Astor and plummeting to his death. Although no similar examples are found and very few of the original company catalogues survive some business records and material can be found in the Austin Automobile Co. Collection Grand Rapids Library Special Collects.
