The livery on the 1920 Packard truck reads: "Water pipe shop - Huber" (plumber shop in todays language). As can be seen this truck is running by burning wood on the round "oven" behind the cab, installed on the vehicles during war times).
This truck has been in use in 1940 and likely during the whole "Winter War" - a military conflict between the Soviet Union and Finland. Like the old men, some old trucks could do their service at the home line, when the young ones were "somewhere far". This truck was playing its part for the water services of Helsinki, where the bombings had caused damage.
