Marston's Delivery Trucks
A small group of Marston's delivery trucks and drivers. Lined up in the Plaza de Panama in Balboa Park for a promotional photograph, the four trucks were of a much larger fleet. Vehicles are believed to be Ford Model AA Panel Delivery trucks, 1928-30.

Delivery Department Well Equipped with Automobiles
The work of the Marston delivery department is exceedingly important. San Diego is spread over a great territory and to deliver properly all the many thousands of parcels which go through this department each week is a considerable task. Several autos and wagons cover the various sections of the city on a regular schedule. The delivery department is in the basement, and packages are conveyed to it from all of the upper floors by means of a spiral conveyor down which the parcels slide by gravity. A most careful system of checking is in operation. - From the full page supplement in the San Diego Union, advertising the newly opened story in 1912.

Drivers left to right Frank Truesdale, James Ricker (also a member of the Marston Choral Society), Edward Wilder, Roy Flannigan, Ralph Homann, and Lawrence Shaw.
