The Famed DeKalb-Made Firetrucks in 1917

From the October 4, 2017, MidWeek (DeKalb County, Illinois)  "Looking Back."

1917, 100 Years Ago.

"The fame of DeKalb made fire trucks is monthly spreading over more territory and through the efforts of the sales department of the local wagon company, and also through the words of praise from outside users, the company is making a truck for some city at all times.

"The latest Illinois city to join the ranks of DeKalb Wagon Company fire trucks is Fulton, which order was signed last week."

I'd never heard of DeKalb Fire trucks.
