    Do you suppose the truck is (or has supplies for) a temporary post office to provide commorative postmarks from the convention? I don't know if that was a thing in the twenties.

      Yes, it was there to be a temp post office, and really, I have no idea about the commemorative thing, and I can't offer an explanation why anyone needs a post office so bad at the Shriner's Convention... what can't wait til you get home?
