Freddie Miller, owner of Housewares, 3316 20th St., recently added U-Haul truck and trailer rentals to its services currently available.

Miller chose to make U-Haul rentals part of the business because of the international company’s well established name and reputation among customers.

Housewares can now offer customers equipment, designed specifically for moving household furnishings, including moving vans ranging in size from 4 feet by 6 feet to 6 feet by 12 feet; car-top carriers and trailer rental hitches. U-Haul is also the world’s largest installer of permanent trailer hitches.

Customers will find all the support items they will need to make their move easier, such as furniture pads, appliance and furniture dollies and side-view mirrors.

U-Haul also offers sales items designed specifically for moving, such as heavy-duty boxes in a variety of sizes. Tape, rope, protective wrapping materials, locks and mattress covers are available.

U-Haul has a network of more than 14,000 independent dealers throughout the U.S. and Canada. For more information, call (601) 483-0036.
