“…There are some other things too, in connection with this trucking business that merits remark. In the first place, it goes hand in hand as a source of wealth with the oyster and fishing business. The boats and the hands when not at one find work at the other.”
(Pictures in Maritime Dixie, by A. Morrison, Norfolk, 1893, pp.104-6, based on facts "supplied by Mr. A. Jeffers, real estate agent, of Norfolk, and the editor of Cornucopia, a journal devoted to local development.")
