International Brotherhood
Two International KB series trucks are in the foreground. Another, larger International KB series tractor appears in the distance at left.
Perhaps nearly thirty years ago in the middle of winter, we had to travel from southern California to Chicago in order to sort through my uncle’s belongings after his passing. A lifelong bachelor, there was no one other than us to do that. We went through everything, leaving nothing unexamined.
My uncle worked for and retired from Stewart Warner Electronics as an electronics technician. One of the artifacts we found in his apartment was a membership card for IBEW, the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers.
The photo above shows three retired trucks, all Internationals, all workhorses in their day. I suppose that in a way, the three trucks shown form another kind of IBEW, the International Brotherhood of Erstwhile Workhorses! (Haha! Just joking!)
