"SEILS STERLING was one of the more recent shows. It was organized in 1919 in Sheboygan, Wis., opened it's first season on May 4, 1920 and closed at the end of the 1937 season.
It was a truck show which traveled the central states from Canada to the Gulf of Mexico. It had 37 trucks in it's last year and a personnel of 185."
