When I was a young lad the sight of one of Clark Douglas’s trucks rattling down the washboard gravel roads and raising a great cloud of dust was a common event. If memory serves he had a fleet of five trucks, four large straight jobs and one smaller one. Clark did the 4H members a big favor those years of Achievement Days in Lisbon and the Corn Show in Enderlin because he would haul our animals free of charge.
The news item from April 9, 1942 gives some idea of the size of business with area stockmen. The holstein heifer I’m holding was one of those Clark hauled for me. It was a nice heifer which the judge at Achievement Days commented highly about after placing it in first place, about 1954 (?).
