Description: Lee Way Motor Freight was founded by Robert “Whitt” Lee in 1934 in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. Lee Way grew quickly, adding drivers and equipment, all while developing a reputation for safety and reliability. By 1947, the company had 225 pieces of equipment and added routes in Kansas and Missouri. That year, the company acquired another trucking company that expanded its fleet and operating authority, an expansion strategy Lee Way would follow for decades into the future. By 1975, Lee's sons decided to sell the company and by the time deregulation hit, Lee Way was in a downward spiral. Lee Way had expanded to 5,000 employees and 100 terminals in 25 states by 1984,but Lee Way's then owner, Commercial Lovelace, elected to shutter the line.
Description: The cover for the January 1934 issue (Volume 4, No. 2) of the classic hero-pulp magazine The Phantom Detective, from Standard Magazines, boasts a delightfully bizarre Rafael deSoto masterpiece. Picture this: a smoking gun, a skeleton in a snappy tuxedo grinning like he just told the world's worst joke, crooning into a vintage ring microphone, while a chorus line of ghostly, horrified faces hovers in the background like they’ve just realized they’re at the wrong party.
