Do you know how many have operated for a short time and then gone out of business, leaving behind them a string of unpaid claims for damages and merchandise? You are aware, doubtless' that any 5 men can form a cab company and operate it without any backing—that they can buy cabs on the installment plan and have nothiug on which a court can levy to satisfy a judgment. The reason we bring up the subject is because transportation is a serious business. Any concern trusted with lives and limbs of the people should be morally and financially sound. It should have the means to provide proper equipment, proper system and proper pro tection. Any man can establish a store or a bank, or be a lawyer or a doctor, but yon will not patronize him unless you know he is competent and decent and re liable. Why should there be any differ ence in the enb business? Yellow Cab is morally and fi nancially sound. It is one of the most successful cab companies in the world.
