DescriptionThe Little brothers and their bus outside the A.E. Roberts Coachworks where Bert Roberts built the bodies for the buses. In approximately 1919 J. J. and J. R. Little tried unsuccessfully to purchase the horse bus company. They then secured two Ford buses and commenced bus services between the cemetery and Boyle’s Bridge. Further services were added including the Woodend-Harlin Road area, One Mile and Booval. The advertising sign on the side of the bus reads ‘The noted shop for good values, Fifers, Drapers, Milliners and Mercers’.References (offline)‘Motor Transport takes off’ Ford buses challenge the power of horse-drawn services by Beryl Johnston, Queensland Times, 10 February 2005
