  Accompanying note: "MAILMEN'S MOTOR SCOOTERS - These are the new scooters, just received, that Tallahassee mailmen will be using to deliver mail as soon as a brief driver training program can be completed. Only eight have arrived but the rest of the [allotted] 20 is expected soon. Looking them over, left to right, are George Stout, Scooter dealer; J.W. Richardson, a mail carrier and future rider; Leo Stephens, Post Office regional representative, and Dick Sutton, assistant superintendent of mails."

  These are Cushman Mailsters. Notice the sign at upper left. They were built in Lincoln, Nebraska. Cushman also made a variety of 2-wheeled motor scooters. Search "Cushman Scooter."
