Sanford Motor Truck Co?

[fyreline]

Sanford did good work, and as a small, regional manufacturer they had a decent market share for many years. They were not typically a supplier to larger departments in any great numbers, and Syracuse only had a few over the years despite being right in their back yard. Sanford tried very hard to compete with the "bigger boys" on Syracuse bid specs, and sometimes whether or not they actually made a profit on the finished rig was debatable. In any case, the fire apparatus universe is the worse for their parting, as could be said of Maxim, Pirsch, Young and many others.
