Provenance: Found in collections. It's a matter of debate as to whether Ted Wright started the Gresham Transfer Company himself or alongside Gresham entrepeneur Burton Walrad Jr. The shipping company made local deliveries of produce, farm equipment, and other goods around the Gresham area and as far as The Dalles.
