A Ford delivery car lettered for Duz, a granulated laundry soap, makes this negative more specific than a typical automobile portrait. The title identifies the vehicle as a commercial delivery truck, so the picture documents an early use of motor vehicles for product distribution and advertising. The National Photo Company, a Washington, D.C., studio active in the early twentieth century, made the negative, which was later given to the Library of Congress in 1947. Viewers should note the streaks and blemishes from the glass coating's natural deterioration.
