After the war began, Cliff Gruver couldn't get any more new cars to sell, so he closed the garage in Ogilvie and went into trucking. In the winter of 1941/42, he had two trucks hauling logs at Big Falls. This is the same rig that moved houses in the summer. The writing is on the photos.

His youngest brother, Ralph Gruver, worked with him. Also up there driving were Roy Tatro and Alton Sjedin (sp?). The trucks ran twenty-four hours a day.
Pat White went up there to see about working with Cliff, but decided to forego the joys of a Big Falls winter.
