Bus with Newell coach on Fageol chassis, Pacific Northwest Traction Co.

View of a bus with Newell coach on Fageol chassis for the Pacific Northwest Traction Co. Printed on front: "Looking back: an early deck and a half. As a way of showing 'there's nothing new under the sun' here's the prototype of today's deck and a half bus. Termed then Newell coaches, after the inventor of the body style, George Newell, the buses featured lots of legroom and a fine view of the road. This particular bus body was mounted on a Fageol chassis ... was operated, as the sign says, by the Pacific Northwest Traction Co. Newell, who worked for Northcoast Transportation Co., saw his design grow in popularity on the West Coast. The design got nowhere on a national basis until relatively recent years." Handwritten on back: "Fageol-Newell deck and a half."
