    When I worked in Chicago at the world's largest textile manufacurer for laundries, while I was going to school up there, we had an REA driver come in every day. Little short Greek guy by the name of Gus Geonopolis (spelling?). Funny guy. The truck he drove was an early 50's Ford panel truck. This would have been in 1967, close to the end of REA.

    For the younger folks, REA = Railway Express Agency.

    times were a lot different when a company passed out bullets as business cards [:D]

    I have seen early Ruger 22 auto pistols at gun shows that were shipped in REA wooden boxes years ago.
