PICTURE ABOVE -- Bus #1024 is posed in
Memorial Park in front of the Park Lane Apartments. This vehicle represented
Florida Motor Lines probably during the Thirties.
According to a photo note from the Florida State Archives, Bus
#1024 "was one of two which made the Jacksonville-Orlando run. Its drivers
were R. H. Hutson and J. D. Williams. The line originally was the Orange
Belt Line, based in Orlando, and it may have had a connection to the White Stage
line. Later Florida Motor Lines absorbed Southeastern Lines, and then
merged with Greyhound around 1941..."
