Your Delivery's Late!
Does anyone have a distributor cap for a 1946 Dodge truck? If not, I'm afraid your package delivery is going to be late...hope you didn't need it badly!
Railway Express Agency (aka REA Express) (REA), founded as the American Railway Express Agency and later renamed the American Railway Express Inc., was a national package delivery service that operated in the United States from 1918 to 1975. REA arranged transport and delivery via existing railroad infrastructure, much as today's UPS or DHL companies use roads and air transport. It was created through the forced consolidation of existing services into a national near-monopoly to ensure the rapid and safe movement of parcels, money, and goods during World War I.
REA ceased operations in 1975, unable to adapt to changes in the rail industry, and increased competition from other modes of package delivery.
The funny thing, for those of us who were around for the REA days it seems that as UPS slowly rolled in, the REA trucks disappeared without us even noticing!
