Thus the term "Lunch Pale" I'll bet this man could tell you what hard work was like.

Looking at some of these truck accidents you just know that driver had to have died.

Interesting service car body in the corner of the "Home of Washington Flour" image.

It is labeled The Washington Cadillac Company.  I have seen drawings for such a body in publications from the era.  And is that the tail end of a heavy duty trailer right next to it?

Yes, that body is rather unique. It's one of those vehicles where the longer you look at it, the more details you discover. Here's the caption:

Washington, D.C., circa 1926. "Wilkins-Rogers Milling Co., exterior, 3261 Water Street." The Washington Flour mill on K Street, formerly Water Street, in Georgetown. The Washington Flour brand had a retail presence at least into the late 1960s. National Photo Company Collection glass negative.

When is that AMT 1923 Depot Hack being reissued...? ?

I think I see four pairs of wheels at the rear of the heavy duty trailer.

FWIW, it would appear that many of the pictures posted here from the Shorpy site originated from the Library Of Congress archive (one of my favorite resources).
