The caption gives only the initials N.L.W.S. for this motor truck, so the owner and the vehicle's purpose are not confirmed here. The picture comes from the George Grantham Bain Collection, made by a New York news photo agency that supplied images to newspapers from the early 1900s into the 1920s. In that period, motor trucks were replacing horse-drawn wagons for freight and deliveries, and new fleets were often photographed to show their equipment to the public. The record has no date, so the era is an estimate based on the collection's span.
