John W. Poole and his son sitting on a company wagon (c.1915). John Poole founded Poole Drayage Company in the 1870's, and ran the express delivery service out of Redwood City. His son, John W. Poole Jr. took over the business in 1890, renaming it Poole Transfer and Storage. Poole built a large warehouse on Phelps Street - now called Middlefield Road - at the site of the present Main Library parking lot. This photograph was taken in front of Offerman's Store on Street. The older man is John W. Poole and the younger man is his son, John W. Poole, Jr. |
