That slogan might now be saturating the advertising landscape if United Parcel Service co-founder James Casey had gotten his way in 1915. The fledgling Seattle-based company, then known as Merchants Parcel Delivery, had expanded its delivery fleet to four cars and five motorcycles--big enough to merit a consistent color scheme.
