It took me quite a while to find a postable copy of this one, which supposedly was a cover for one of the more popular magazines of the time, shortly after WWII. I could be mistaken about that though as I’m not nearly old enough to know personally. I have seen this picture in a number of mover’s offices across the country, a sort of inspiration I suppose. Inspiration perhaps, or maybe more along the lines of the compulsion to look a little too closely at a tragic accident. The question is, is this the mover’s dream come true, or a hell on earth… I shudder to think of the damage claims filed in the following weeks.
One thing for certain; in this present economy, when even some of the older and well established franchises aren’t safe, this would be a dream come true. I can hear it now, “but you advertise same-day service!”. Illustrates the old phrase nicely; “when it rains, it pours”.

1 great moving company photo // Nov 22, 2010 at 4:35 pm
Hey that is one great moving company photo. If it were not for the mix of companies I would swear it was an advertisement but with so many companies represented I find that hard to belive that they would all get together for one photo. if you came across that scene in todays business environment there would most likely be a fistfight in the road.

Love, love, love that photo! The storage industry has vastly changed over the last 30 years, too. In the old days, you’d find a shack on an unsecured lot in the middle of no where. Now, you’ll find storage in Virginia that will knock your socks off. Our industries have come a long way for sure.
