Production. War housing trailers. Multiple duty for war housing trailer tires. Back from a trailer housing site comes this Department of Agriculture truck with 150 tires on which new war housing trailers were delivered from the Los Angeles plant of Western Trailer Company. Upon delivery, trailers are shifted to horses. Wheels and tires are removed and sent back for the delivery of other wooden trailers. The original plan was to leave them on the trailers to make fast evacuation of trailers and workers possible. The acute tire shortage made the plan unfeasible

New oversize trailer for war workers. Here's an answer to the problem of transporting defense workers to outlying industrial plants: It's the new oversize bus trailer made almost entirely of non-critical materials which held its Washington premier April 13. Hauled by an ordinary one-and-a-half-ton truck tractor, it holds 141 persons, and was designed and built by the Office of Defense Transportation and War Production Board (WPB) officials with the cooperation of private companies. Weight of the trailer is 12,000 pounds as compared with 17,000 pounds for a standard type 40-passenger city bus. The complete unit is fifty-five feet long
