Elmer T. Hangstefer, secretary, treasurer and general manager, had charge of the truck body accounting department of the Packard plant, and the factory and production manager, Harry Carrier, for several years built the Packard truck bodies.

He had charge of cost estimating at the Packard factory and figures to exactness. The employees have all had training in power wagon factories and are regarded as expert workmen.”
