"Photograph of Los Angeles plumbing supply company, the H.R. Boynton Co. flat bed delivery truck, with crew and freight, circa 1912."

The truck was made by the American Locomotive Co. (ALCO) which manufactured motor cars and trucks from 1906-1913 in Providence, Rhode Island. The photograph was taken by Nathan Lazarnick, a pioneer in the development of automotive photography in the early 20th Century. Lazarnick worked almost exclusively for ALCO in the early years.

that owned the plumbing supply company.
