Motor Transport Co. 2289

I spotted this Motor Transport Co. trailer in a mechanical contractor's yard on the north side of Milwaukee.  I believe Motor Transport Co. was the trucking subsidiary of The Milwaukee Electric Railway & Light Company, the local interurban and streetcar operator.  I'm not sure 2289 was the trailer's number for MTC, that lettering looks quite a bit newer...  Mark W.
