Here's a couple of pneumatic companies from days of old.
Cletex from Cleburne,TX. I want to say they were bought by Montgomery. I remember the white with gold stripes Pete 359s or 379s. I know QC has an affiliate with the Cletex name and my guess is there is some sort of relationship with the Cletex of old.
Butler from Butler, Mo. Another one who had Petes. If I remember it right, I think they had the short-hood version.
Both of them went to a customer in Attapulgus, Ga. In fact, Cletex had the account and when Montgomery bought them, Butler got the Attapulgus account.homeskillet Thanks this. -
I still see butler tanks being pulled by Bulk matichomeskillet Thanks this.

I was under the impression those were a different Butler. That Butler is from Vernon, AL and there is some sort of relationship with the local Bulkmatic office. I suppose it could be the same one, though.homeskillet and slim shady Thank this.
