At least one company is still in business. United Parcel Service. I even saw some of their trucks in Europe during the 1990's.

The first UPS truck (truck number 33) appears to have accessory brakes but truck number 28 does not.

Loeb’s Laundry truck...love those wheels. Never seen them before. Thanks for the 35 minutes entertainment... I’m a little slow.
I don’t know why I turned out this way. My parents were decent people 🤪

Novel way to stay the windscreen on the Smith Brothers Butter truck. I used just such a square-on photo to replicate my 1912 Haigh's Chocolates van.

My favorite 20 also!

I wonder if the statue in the middle of the intersection has been torn down yet?
Love the Model T chemical car and ALF. The curved rear fenders put it at 1920 or earlier.

You got m interested in seeing if I could find the answer to your question. In doing so I found some very interesting facts. Apparently the original was copied many times over https://doughboysearcher.weebly.com/the ... ghboy.html. The BW photo has the riffle pointed slightly up, others have many different positions.

I believe the photo with the WWI display was taken in Hospers, Iowa. My grandfather on my mothers side, served in WWI and was supposed to have spearheaded (according to family history) the drive to get that statue erected. I believe it still stands in the middle of the intersection there to this day.

The information about "The Spirit of The American Doughboy" indicates that almost every city/own erected a variant of the original. Sculptor and artist, Ernest Moore Viquesney, was the man behind the famous doughboy statues installed throughout the country to honor World War I Veterans. Researchers believe there may at one time been as many as 845 doughboy statues scattered around the country, but only 145 have been documented to date. There are at least 88 remaining. The Bank building in the background of the discussion photo is likely to still exist, but I would guess the status was moved from that location shown.
I Googled Hospers, Iowa and got this photo of the one in t he intersection. Its a very large intersection, surprised it hasn't been involved in an accident.

I haven't been back to this little town in years but remember a guard rail about the statue to protect it from certain death so to speak. there used to be a large building on the corner similar to the photo but it was burned in a fire I think in the late 60's. sure brings back memories however.
