1918-This is a lot of three items, including an early 1900s photo of a fleet of trucks at a shipyard, a full page advertisement begging understanding from customers of the White Truck Company. It was during the first World war and it was addressing the company’s obligation to the war effort and how it was affecting consumers. There is also an efficiency medal awarded by the President for manufacturing excellence. The medal measures about 1.75” square and is made of 10k gold and brass. This is a very unique lot for fans and enthusiasts of the Great War. The gold award medal is shaped in the logo of the White Motor Company, a truck radiator. The inscription on the medal notes that it was given by a manager, W.E. Alexander, to an employee, for efficiency in June 1918, as the company was ramping up its war effort. HKA#64624
