The company's found a home in Long Beach, CA in the basement of a building where the Bell's rented an apartment. During that time the only means of picking up metal was to use the family car. 'We would use wood planks and by hand run the barrel up the planks and tie it to the trunk of the 36 Desoto Coup. Then tie itagain to the bumper. And you guessed it down went the back of the car. Imagine the weight of a trash can mostly filled with old type weighs in around 1200 pounds." (from Wikipedia). Very Good+ .
