    This collection of three photographs showing the progression of Kepler Brothers' Trucking.

    F. Parson Kepler started the company in 1917 when he was in eighth grade. Kepler Brothers' Trucking was in operation for over 80 years, hauling and moving items across the United States. Kepler used a horse and buggy for the first three years of operation before switching to a Ford truck. As the company grew, Kepler bought more trucks, hired relatives, partnered with local stores, and became involved in the World War 2 war effort.

    The first photo features the original horse and buggy used by the company. The middle photograph shows the first truck and first employee of Kepler Brothers' Trucking. The third photo features one of the Ford trucks Kepler used.
