This truck was first used as a garbage truck, and was then used in the Cobble Hill area of Vancouver Island to set telephone poles. The red frame on the rear of the truck was the pole trailer. The setting of poles was done by rope and man power.
The Maxwell Automobile Company was taken over by Walter Chrysler in 1925 and absorbed into the Chrysler Corporation, now Stellantis North America.
The purchase cost of this truck in 1918 was $1,000.
