Summary

[edit]
Description
English: The great granddad of companies like UPS, FedEx, DHL, Airborne and others.

In the olden days, if you needed a package delivered, one of REA's bottle-green trucks with the red diamond more than likely did the picking up and delivering. Even their railcars followed that color scheme.

Competitor Lifschultz followed basically the same business model. Their fleet of red trucks were lined up in loading bays along Clark Street south of Roosevelt.
