"Packard Co. file photograph of a caravan of early 1900s Packard trucks fully loaded, pulling extra trailers, sign on side of front truck reads "First Direct Shipment of Sunkist Oranges & Lemons Los Angeles to London," on road next to railroad tracks, two men in front cab, front truck as an American flag attached to radiator. Inscribed on photo back: "Packard trucks,
post World War I, transporting California "Sunkist" oranges & lemons."
