AZELEA MOTEL, Folkston GA

   
 

The era of worrying about small children toppling into swimning pools was not yet upon them.

Owned and operated by J. B. Hinson.

From the 1944 archives of the local paper:

COLD STORAGE PLANT TO OPEN. A modern meat-curing and cold storage plant to serve Charlton and the surrounding counties has just been completed in Folkston and will be open for public inspection on October 19th. The plant has been installed by the Folkston Ice and Cold Storage of which J.B. Hinson is the owner.

FOR SALE. 21 Houses Newly Built. Two to Five Rooms. Located near Folkston. Must Be Dismantled And Moved at Once. For full information, see J.B. Hinson

NEW SAWMILL PLANT DISMANTLED A  large new sawmill plant, completely equipped and set up down to the last detail with a brick dry kiln and more than a score of houses for the operatives, has been abandoned near Folkston and the plant is being dismantled without ever having been operated a single dayThe new two and five-room houses that never had a tenant, have been purchased by J.B. Hinson, who is offering them for sale, to be torn down and moved from the site

Something of a mover and shaker in the affairs of Charlton County, I suspect. Could that be the man himself on the left, looking cockeyed at the bush?
