Brown...
I'm doing some research on UPS. What I did know is that it was started in Seattle in the early 20th century. What I didn't know was that they wear brown because its the color of opium and they were started to deliver opium to the prostitutes of early Seattle.

Re: Brown...
Early Seattle was a dirty, shady place.

Re: Brown...
I have a hard time believing that is true. With as big of a company they are now, I would think if there was any truth to this that they would change things immediately in this PC world.

Re: Brown...
I don't believe this.

Re: Brown...
I don't think so. For one thing, in the 80s they wore grey. The vans around here were always brown, but not the uniforms.
