Description
1940. A substantial archive documenting the trucks, drivers, terminals, accidents, repairs, freight operations, and working life of the Michigan Tri-State Motor Express trucking company of Benton Harbor, Michigan, dating primarily from the late 1930s through the 1950s. The company grew from the Mammina Brothers transport business established by Joseph and Benjamin Mammina after their experience with heavy transport vehicles during American military service in World War I. By 1938, Joseph Mammina's independent Michigan Tri-State Motor Express operated sixty-four trucks across four Midwestern states, part of the enormous transformation of American freight hauling that accelerated during the interwar and postwar years as trucks increasingly challenged railroads for regional cargo traffic. Photo archive of 122 loose silve gelatin photographs, each measuring between 2.5" x 3.25" to 3" x 4". The photographs show fleets of branded Michigan Tri-State trucks and trailers lined in depots and freight yards; drivers posing beside International, GMC, and other commercial tractors; loading docks; warehouse operations; trailers marked "Michigan Tri-State Motor Express"; long-haul rigs parked along highways; winter driving conditions; damaged trailers; overturned freight trucks; accident recovery scenes; and mechanics standing beside wrecked equipment. Several photographs bear handwritten dates including 1940, 1941, and 1950. Drivers appear repeatedly across the archive, often photographed informally beside assigned vehicles, emphasizing the labor force that sustained Midwestern freight circulation before interstate highways transformed American trucking after 1956. This collection showcases an intimate documentation of a regional trucking company during the period when motor freight became essential to American industrial and commercial distribution. During the Depression and World War II years, trucking firms carried factory goods, agricultural products, machine parts, and retail freight between Midwestern industrial cities and rural markets, operating within a rapidly expanding road network shaped by New Deal infrastructure projects and wartime logistics demands. The accident scenes and roadside breakdowns visible throughout the archive also preserve the hazards of early commercial trucking before modern highway engineering, federal safety regulation, and standardized freight systems reshaped long-distance transport. Minor curling and edgewear, some edges clipped, and some toning throughout. Overall good condition. Collectively, the photographs document the human and mechanical infrastructure of regional freight hauling during one of the decisive transitional periods in twentieth-century American commerce.

[a good sound copy, tiny fraying and very slight exposure of boards at lower tips but no other significant wear, bookplate on front pastedown, one-time owner's name plus date & place of purchase and brief comment (all in ink) at top of front endpaper, small ink check-mark next to each title in the table of contents; the jacket has some wear along the top and bottom edges, with shallow chipping along top edge (mostly at top of spine), light scuffing/soiling, one small closed tear and associated short crease at bottom right corner of front panel]. The first "Ellery Queen" book that wasn't a novel, originally published by Frederick A. Stokes in 1934. The contents, "a veritable banquet of thrills for all lovers of Problems in Deduction" (a reference to the subtitle on all of EQ's early mystery novels), were stories that had appeared in various magazines (some under different titles than here) during 1933 and 1934. The tales, all of which had "The Adventure of" prepended to their titles for purposes of this collection (probably a conscious nod to the original Sherlock Holmes stories, which employed the same titling practice), are: "The African Traveler"; "The Hanging Acrobat"; "The One-Penny Black"; "The Bearded Lady"; "The Three Lame Men"; "The Invisible Lover"; "The Teakwood Case"; "'The Two-Headed Dog'"; "The Glass-Domed Clock"; "The Seven Black Cats"; and "The Mad Tea-Party." A feature carried over from a number of the early novels was the book's Preface by the mysterious "J.J. McC.," a friend of the Queens, who here relates conversations he had with both Ellery and his father Richard, on the topic of his being asked to write this very foreword! It's interesting to note that for this edition, G&D employed the same "silhouetted crook with a gun" jacket art that they had used for a couple of Raoul Whitfield novels in the early 1930s. .
