Show TAXI 01ER GIVES I THE RECORD The average automobilist can learn many things about values from the taxi owner. The average owner usually drives one car, and gets the experience that comes from operating that single machine. But the taxi owner has a string of cars in his service, and is in a position to find out by actual test the exact merits of various types of automobile automo-bile equipment. In addition to having more cars, the taxi man is able to study the type of service given by cars and equipment under the most strenuous conditions. The grueling, racking treatment that falls to the lot of the taxicab in a big city makes it possible to make a proper estimate of the value of each item of equipment. The modern taxi company runs on efficiency ef-ficiency lines and keeps cost and service sheets that tell it just what it gets for its money. The United States Tire company is in receipt of the following letter from S. H. Miskend, president of the Blue Taxi company, com-pany, one of the big taxi firms in Brooklyn, Brook-lyn, N. Y. : "You will probably be interested in the records we have recently compiled on 200 United States tires, 34x4 chains and 3fix41,3 chains, that we purchased a year ago this month. "We find upon investigation that, although al-though they were used on heavy White taxicabs. in all kinds of weather and under un-der the usual taxicab conditions, we have not had one single adjustment. Every one of these tires gave satisfaction. "Feel:ng that a manufacturer would be Interested in a record of their goods, we are advising you of these facts with the idea that you may at some time want to refer someone to us in the same line of business who contemplated buying tires, and you can rest assured that we would recommend them very highly." |
