Biller Bros. Winter Quarters - 1950

These were taken at their Athens, Georgia Winter Quarters. The trucks were well painted.

Notice the name Kentucky under the door of this semi trailer. The sleepers were named the same way the rail shows named their coaches.

Kentucky trailer maybe?

I don`t think it`s a Kentucky trailer because it is written on the bottom of the door and the door was most likely added. Could be wrong though, I have a large number of Biller Bros photos, I`ll see if any other trailers have state names on them.

There was (and maybe still is) a truck body company named "Kentucky" that produced a variety of truck bodies and components. I've seen the same name plate on dump truck bodies, but don't have any current info on the firm. Not too many shows had the money for new equipment; it is likely that this was at one time a moving van that the show converted to their particular uses.
