team has travelled around the world,
or rather miles enough to circle

work on the cab line about eleven
years, between the postof6ce, hotels
and depots, beginning work when
one was three years old and the
other four. Notwithstanding their
ages, they are yet, we believe, the
best all around cab team in this
section.
