Dodson, operating the concern in the absence of her husband, Captain Dodson, a war prisoner of the Japanese, started the movement for 100 additional trucks needed for collection in the citywide cleanup campaign. Shown with the trucks, left to rights, are Amos M. Holmes, who will drive the larger truck; Mrs. Holmes, assistant in the office and Mrs. Dodson. They are standing on the truck floor boards.
