That was the early solution to deal with the movement of the rear axle relative to the frame. On the other hand,

Couldn’t find much on Standard, looks like they had a run of bad luck and folded in the early 20's:
The Standard Woodenware Company, once located at 230-234 South Los Angeles St., made and sold brooms and wooden furniture, wholesale. It was also a company that suffered a history of fires. Their Los Angeles Street plant caught fire in 1904, suffering heavy damages. The plant was rebuilt, but caught fire again in 1906, this time set by arsonists. By 1911, the Standard Woodenware Company made plans for a new plant. USC claims that at least one of Woodenware’s plant buildings was located at 1126 S. Santa Fe Ave. (the circa-1911 building is still standing); however, in 1916, the newspapers claim that their plant at 1828 Traction Avenue caught fire. The company remained in business at least until 1922.
The truck is a Grabowsky Power Wagon, either a 1910 or 1911. Max and Morris Grabowsky opened their first company in 1900, building one truck and part of another before reforming as Rapid Motor Vehicle Co in 1902. By 1904 Rapid had moved to Pontiac Michigan and was producing hundreds of trucks per year. By 1908 Max had resigned from Rapid to open Grabowsky Power Wagons, while William Durant started buying up Rapid stock. Four years later GBW was bankrupt, while Rapid merged with Reliance Truck Co. to form GMC.

I t was also a company that suffered a history of fires.
Well, when your warehouse is constantly filled with wood, what do you expect?
Thanks for the info!

Wooden products, wooden buildings, (probably) no electric light, no OSHA and no automatic sprinkler systems. It’s amazing any industrial buildings from the 19th and early 20th centuries survive.

But I thought government regulations stifle competition...
