| | Mutual Wheel Company - History In The Making |
 | | In addition to its Moline factory, Mutual Wheel Company had several branch stock plants in the timber districts of the south, and employed a large number of timber buyers who were responsible for locating the several million feet of good hickory timber which the company used annually. |
 | | The diminished demand for wooden wheels and the financial crisis of The Great Depression had their impact on Mutual Wheel Co. It was a time of reflection, and it was a time that the companies sales volume and number of employees dropped to its lowest ever. |
 | | It was during the 1950s that Mutual Wheel Company became a strong force in the wholesale distribution of wheels, truck equipment, and power brakes, and developed a complete service garage for brake service on cars, trucks, and trailers. |
