Photo taken in 1900 of a Pioneer Trucking Company horse-drawn moving truck. The company was founded by Hiram Gould and later continued by Elwyn Bremer Gould in 1899. It was purchased by Roscoe E. Hazard in 1913. Together, R.E. Hazard and Elwyn Blaine Gould (Hiram's grandson) developed the Pioneer Transfer and Storage Co. of San Diego. Its first location was at 1427 E Street and by 1906 was listed at 1314 E Street. In 1928 the firm merged with several others to form Lyon Van and Storage Company, with Elwyn Blaine Gould as its first president.
