Many of you were probably just as unaware as I was that we also have a school bus manufacturing division. Al Reinschmidt is a bus enthusiast and found this nice advertising folder for me. If you need an all-steel "Arch-Bilt"body for your Studebaker bus chassis, for instance, write for more information!

Is that Hicks Body Co. any relation?
No, I just thought it was kind of funny. And I like the little logo with the shadows. The bus company was founded in 1919, which happens to be about when the successor to the car works went out of business, but by this time Frank M. Hicks had long retired to California and become an amateur astronomer. So there's no connection either way.
That is a coincidence that could have been plausible, because Thomas Car Works moved on to buses.
There's one of these buses sitting looking mostly complete on the east side of St. Charles across 64 from the airport in a large lot of various vehicles and machinery.
