Photograph
Sepia-tone photo of a Borden's truck parked on an unidentified street, Hoboken, 1924.
8" x 10" wide print. Photographer not indicated (possibly R. Magnus.) Reverse blank except for holographic notation "1924" in red ballpoint ink (thus modern) which is presumed to be a date (who dated this image and how the date was determined is not known.)
Truck has "Borden's" and "Farm Dairy Products, Inc., 1[?]19 Hudson St., N.Y." on hood. Borden's Dairy did use facilities at the Delaware, Lackawanna & Western Railroad yards for milk trains.
This photo is from an accession group that consists of photographs from Hoboken Police Department records. Discarded in the 1990s, the original documentary purpose of this photo is not stated or apparent. The exterior shot of it parked on a street with apartment buildings does not show any activity related to the vehicle or law enforcement purposes.
