Remembering fallen Jacksonville companies.

National moved its HQ to Miami before its absorption by Pan Am, but it was at one time headquartered at the old Imeson Airport.  There's a great article on the old airport's history on here.

^^ Remember Tillie the all time Teller? She was Florida National Bank's smokin hot "mascot" for their newfangled Automated Teller Machines back in the 70s.

Tillie the all time teller and Atlantic Bank a rounds.. Remember them??

Wow how times have changed.

^^ Every bank & credit union had a catchy name for their ATMs. Barnett Bank (also a fallen Jackonville company) had Sam the SuperTeller.

Did anyone mention Worman's?
Federal Bakery?
Paris Hat Shop?
Kress?
i could go on and on...La Rose Shoes:  loved to window shop. There was an articl in the paper a while back about La Rose.  The new owner of the building found tons of new shoes inside.  Thre is a still a big value on-line for La Rose shoes.

I never knew Kress was headquartered in Jacksonville. Cool.

My mistake, Back in Jax.  I got so carried away I forgot the word "headquartered."
