In 1914, during the heyday of Juneau's gold mining era, Art McKinnon opened a transfer business. Starting out with nothing but a wagon and two horses, he called it Reliable Transfer. The company began at 346 Franklin Street, moved to 141 S. Franklin in 1930 and finally to 200 N. Franklin in 1950.
In addition to Reliable, there were many other transfer companies including Alaska Transfer, Berry Transfer, General Transfer, Juneau Transfer, R & M Transfer, City Transfer, Femmer Transfer, Standard Transfer and Northern Transfer.Reliable purchased their first truck in 1920. Today Reliable Transfer is not so different from how it was back in 1914.
