The Miami Specialty Works was organized in 1919 for the purpose of
building truck bodies and drivers' cabs. This concern, though in its
infancy, has secured substantial recognition in the automobile world for the
excellence of their products. The building of bodies is now generally
recognized as a feature that requires the highest specialization. Very few
automobile manufacturers build their machines entire, looking to these
specialists for the various parts in a particular line. There is no feature
requiring more care, knowledge and attention to details than the body
building of the automobile. It is the artistic feature of the car. Its grace
of outline and appearance in general gives the automobile distinction. The
organizers of this concern, fully aware of the tremendous field for a
thoroughgoing, conscientious organization, established the above concern in
1919. They have specialized on truck bodies, but give their attention to
other lines of work in automobile building. Despite the very short time,
however, they have been in this field, they have secured substantial
contracts from the International Harvester company and also make trucks for
the Indiana and Nash Trucks. The officers are: Clyde Statler, president;
Louis Schuh, vice-pres ident, and L. R. Stoner, secretary.
