QREX Reporting Marks
Ian's Cranstone's list of reporting marks show QREX as assigned to:
Quaker City Refrigerator Line (7/1930-7/1932)
Quaker City Refrigerator Line (General American Tank Car Corp. 7/1935)
General American Transportation Corp. (7/1937)
I've noticed quite a few models carry the QREX reporting marks. These include the following companies on those models:
- Booter's Hatcheries
- Jack Daniel (You know what this is.)
- Evansville Packing Company (May Blossom Butter)
- Grand Union Food Markets
- Guggenheim Brothers (Beef Packers)
- Holland Butter
- Krey Packing Company
- Madame Butterfly (Cigars)
- Norman & Company Cheese
- Red Kamel (Cigarettes)
- Schlosser Brothers Dairy Products
- Tick Produce Company (Poultry & Eggs)
- C. F. Vissman & Company (Pork & Beef Packers)
I only found a prototype photo for Schlosser Brothers Dairy Products.
Can anyone verify prototypes for the other QREX reefers?
Thanks.
