You're right, there was a Red Owl store in downtown St.Paul, my Grandfather 
used to shop there, and my sister baby sat the Glendenning kids. Walther's did 
have a two pack of Glendenning trailers showing they operated in Illinois, 
Iowa, Wisconsin, Minnesota, and North and South Dakota. john

  Red Owl grocery stores were indeed common on the upper end of Lines 
  East with stores in MN, Wis & Iowa into the early 1990's.  Like many 
  companies, their logo changed in design over the years (the owl became 
  less of a 'real' owl and more of a stylized one).  This truck would be 
  appropriate to those modeling the very end of the Q.  Another 
  good "Granger Country" truck line available at least in H.O. is 
  Gateway, a regional carrier out of LeCrosse from the 20's into the 
  70's.  Glendenning was another big name in the Minn, Wis, northern 
  Iowa area in the 30's to the 70's.  
    I can also vouch for Hamm's beer reefers showing up on the Q as one 
  of the 1st snapshots I took of a Burlington train was one that 
  included an "Athearn" scheme Hamm's reefer going thru E. Dubuque in 
  the early 60's.  And of course Heileman's Old Style, Peerless and 
  Potosi were "on-line" for those seeking authentic for the Q rolling 
  stock and Budweiser's "Manufacturer's RR" reefers showed up on every 
  line (causing the eventual demise of many of their smaller 
  competitors).                          Gerald
