"THE BLACK AND WHITE csbi with

De Yeu Care Who Drives?
I take it that most men and women have their
driving friends classed something like this: Class
A geed and safe driven; Class B fair and
reckless; Class C I'd rather walk.
Yet some of the same men will hop in a taxi
without a thought of who's at the wheel. And
ethers put a black mark down against all taxi
drivers and inconvenience themselves by walking.
Se let me give you the rating of Black and
While service for future reference. Every car is
spick and span inside and out; the meters take
their time and don't try te get ahead of the car;
every driver is a stockholder in the Black and
White Company a business man and gentleman,
And mind you, that gees for every driver of a
Black and White. We haven't a comer en geed
drivers but we haven't any who don't belong in
Class double A.
After you've taken a ride in a Black and White
and paid your bill, you'll knew that 4-lesi-clever
en the deer was the best 4-Iesf-clever you ever
picked.
When you need a taxi and want te ride with
an. owner-driver page Black and White or hail
a " green light " at night! That's all.

There, among the cliff dwellers, the parlor rug

much for Dad with his bike (he didn't use it much
anyway); Bunny had outgrown the baby carriage,

Se they offered these things, and ethers te our

well known), quickly grabbed the bargains while the
