A New Fire Truck for the Monroe Fire Department

Here is another ebay find. It shows a brand new fire truck that had been ordered by the Monroe Fire Department. The ebay ad says it dated to 1926, but the Type 12 debuted in 1911. You can read information about it here as well as see a great photo of one: https://fire.fandom.com/wiki/American_LaFrance_Type_12

I think there is a photo of this truck (or one VERY similar) in the library’s online photo collection here: https://www.louisianadigitallibrary.org/islandora/object/oplib-pho%3A531
