CHARLES A. SHELBY, OF
READING, PA.

Men long in one line of activity do
not commonly free themselves from
the heavy irons of passivity as some.
one has remarked. They find it diff.
cult to escape from the habit-worn
groove of inertia. But Charles A.
Shelby. after % years of hoteling, turn.
ed handspriI.. into taxis. Hotels
yes some hotels are profitable on the
contrary, some are not.
Shelby had observed that the taxi
service in many cities was not all one
might desire. Worth investigating.
anyhow. In the course of trip OF
Exploration he arrived at Reading. Pa.
and here, he say. twas a wonderful
opportunity for taxi company if run
in the right way"
Shelby and his two sons straight
way got busy and organized rather
notwithstanding corporation, the
name being the biggest part Of it just
then. A few Fords comprised the tan
gible assets mostly. Somehow Shelby
had the curious idea that the people
of Reading would taxi in Lizzies il the
fare were less.
His competitors had Rollingroyces or
something relatively consequential. and
they chortled their mirth over Shelby.
Hell go TO the junk yard inside of
six moons" they predestined for him.
The chortlng ceased. For a time
you could have heard the silence among
the aforesaid big-car crew. Then-I
quote Shelby:
I'VE instituted the lowest taxicab
xvnN
started in 1914. by having a meter
with a twenty-cent drop; and every day
in every way we grew bigger and big
ger and bigger, until we have the larg-
est and best-equipped cab company in
Reading"
The Sheidys had dropped down there
into Reading with Il clean-cut philoso-
ply that speeding and road-hogging
and all the minus cOurtesies of this
gas-driven age could never capture elu-
sive success. They have held stead
tasty to this creed, aud not so long
ago they instituted n ">lean-up" for
taxis in Reading. resulting in the revo-
cation of licenses of some 50-odd in
competent drivers.
Our motto has always been SER
N-l-O-E. MI. Cntlug OuuSs anu hoAu-
ing was ever spared to live up TO ser
vice. The one thing that can run a
taxi business into the ditch is the in
difference or reckleSSneSs of drivers (;
and we boast that in the nine years
we have operated we've never had a
serious accident. Our drivers are care
fully instructed on the safety-first
plan. At all times must they give the

other fellow the right Of way, whether
he is right or wrong. We will not
tolerate taking chances with the lives
or limbs of our parons."
So Shidy's little original fleet has
grown into twenty metered taxis and
a large limousine for special parties.
Since the beginning his gasoline Eliz-
abeths have made 100000 calls, ard
carried the equivalent of all people
in Reading six times oyer-and Reads
ing has 100000 people, according to
the census. If all the mileage of his
taxicabs was translated into glove-cir-
cling terms it would equal some ~
girdles of the world.

bends over us, and knows the name
of each and the trials OF each, and
