"We would like to share with you a brief history of our company, Coles Express. It all began here... 1917... A.J. 'Allie' Cole started a freight and mail route from Enfield Station to Lowell and Burlington. With hard work and pioneering people a Maine company was born. We started small, and it wasn't always easy going. Horses and wagons soon gave way to trucks, and new ideas filled local needs. In 1925 the company moved its base of operations to Bangor."
