The Things You See Just Sitting in a Field (April 2019)

Every day, on my way to the job site in New Bern, I’d pass this poor neglected trailer. There never seemed to be anyone at the house, although it didn’t look as woebegone as the trailer.

One day, I decided to stop at take a look. It wasn’t an Airstream, but I wanted to see what it was.

The poor thing seemed to have no wheels.

Or doors, for that matter.

It did have two entries, but neither one of them had doors.

I took a peek inside.

Oh. My. Goodness!

I continued my way around.

It’s a bad sign when you can see things growing inside.

The name badge was rather classy. Alma. That gave me something to go on.

I found this information about the Alma Trailer Company in the Tin Can Tourists website.

“The Alma Trailer Corp. was formed in 1934 by William and Harold Redmond and Allen Hathaway who was the designer and patent holder of the trailer. The Redman’s exited in 1937 to start the Redman Trailer Company. In the 40’s, Alma had the largest trailer factory in America and were selling Silver Moon trailers to the defense personal during Word War II. The Redman’s bought the company back in 1957.”

So, if you want to know more, that’s where you can look.

Enjoy!
