(Coleman City Directory, 1929 - Hudspeth.)
J. L. Lykins Came To County in 1898 J. L. Lykins came to Coleman in 1898 and engaged in farming in this county for several years thereafter. In 1919, he went into the transfer business. His equipment at that time consisted of an old time wagon and a team. As time went on he changed to motorized equipment and today, he has two trucks. He has a standing contract with the Santa Fe for pick-up and deliveries. His main business, of course, is local hauling and he is available at any hour of the day or night. You may feel assured of prompt service and quick delivery when Mr. Lykins does your transfers, and your baggage or merchandise is insured against damage.
