Western Air Patrol
These radios were made for Western Auto by various manufacturers (Gilfillan etc) prior to their adopting the Truetone brand name. Specifically for Western Auto stores located in California under the direction of George Pepperdine, who founded Western Auto originally in Kansas City. For health reasons, Pepperdine left his Kansas City store and eventually opened stores in California. These Western Air Patrol radios were long thought as "orphans" because of sketchy documentation, but they are indeed as much a part of Western Auto history as their Truetone name. And yes, Pepperdine went on to found Pepperdine University in California.
