“Mechanically and structurally restored while preserving its nearly 70 year old patina. New wiring, lights and reflectors – exactly match originals. Rusted areas on the box were cut out, fresh steel welded in, frame was reinforced with extra cross rails and a treated lumber deck was installed.
Canopy tops are available for these to make it an all weather, off road adventure hauler. Very solid, nice towing… its a great little trailer that is very unique and gets a lot of attention.”

The 1946 Bulletin “The Jeep as a Source of Power and Transportation on Farms and Ranches in Texas” was written by Harris Pearson Smith, Chief of the Division of Agricultural Engineering in the State of Texas. It is available for download off of the Hathitrust.org site. The pamphlet includes a variety of farm images.

Cover of booklet:

1951-case-histories-of-advertising-images4

Image 1 compares a WWII jeep used for testing vs. a CJ-2 (note the lack of a fuel inlet and the WWII grille; also looks like JEEP is printed on the windshield) received in April of 1945 for additional testing:

1951 Short Case History of Willys-Overland Advertising

The following analysis of Willys-Overland advertising was included as part of the 1951 book “Case Histories of Advertising When Oversold“. One example shows how Sunkist growers used advertising in WWII to switch users from canned fruit to fresh fruit and from occasional customers to steady customers. Not much detail in any of these, but kind of interesting (to me anyway).
