Beginning tomorrow, a fleet of handsome new Black & White taxicab will be at your service. Each cab will be kept scrupulously clean and sanitary by daily scrubbing, and perfectly safe by the constant attention of skilled mechanicians, who will inspect mechanism and running gear every day and night. Reckless driving will not be tolerated. The drivers, who have been care fully chosen because of their proved ability and integrity, will be held to strict account- ability for the safety and comfort of their passengers. 30 cts. for the First K Mile Cars Sent Free to Any Part of the City A charge of 30 cents will be made for the first 1-3 mile and 10 cerits for each additional 1-3 mile or, in other words, 50 cents for the first mile and 30 .cents for each additionalmile. . When the bar is hired by the hour, a charge of $2.50 will be made for each hour. These rates are "flat," and there will be no "extra" charges of any kind. These very low rates make it nec essary to conduct a strictly cash business. No charge accounts will be qpened. Black & White cars may be picked' up almost anywhere or quickly summoned by telephoning to the company's garage any hour of tle day or night. If the people of Philadelphia support this experiment by their consistent patronage, the Company will increase the number of cartas fast as conditions require, and will reduce the rates to even lower figures at the earliest possible date. It is entirely up to you to show, whether you want this better service at these low and perhaps lower rates. The next time you want a taxi, if you want this experiment made permanent, insist on getting a Black & White taxicab whether you are at a hotel, theatre, cafe, railroad station br in your own home. , TELEPHONE: Diamond 7200 or Park 1500 Always look for the Black& White sign on the door BLACK & WHITE CO MPANY x. .
