Description
These prints are designs published by the
Hackney Brothers Body Company of Wilson, NC. The purpose of the
prints was to advertise the carriages and wagons they manufactured
and distributed. Hackney Brothers (1854 - 1996) started as a wagon
building business in 1854 and turned out about 200 buggies and 100
wagons a year by 1885. The firm began making truck bodies in 1910s,
later expanding the company's product line to include ambulances,
house trailers, hearses, portable storage rooms, temporary
bleachers, car-top sleepers, and school buses. The company patented
the first carbon dioxide-based refrigeration system in 1931.
Refrigerated trucks became their most important product. It was sold
in 1993 to Hackney & Sons located in Washington, NC. Then in 1997,
TTI bought the entire Hackney firm and merged its operations with
another subsidiary, Kidron.
