NEW ERA IN TAXI
BUSINESS SEEN
BY RACE OWNERS

(By the Associated Negro Press)
commercial era is beckoning to col
ored capital and business ability. I'm
til recently the activities of those
with business inclination might be
bounded by FIVE or six traditional
lines. Restaurants, barber shops,
pool rooms, groceries, saloons, real
estate, with latter day attempt at
banking and insurance, have given a
bird's-eye view of the average scope
of colored enterprise.
But the invasion of the colored
field by the Yellow Cab Company has
opened up a new line of endeavor
with an opportunity of learning the
game of modern transportation from
men who in the brief space of six
years have covered 400 cities of the
United States with hurrying, bustling
yellow taXicabs, which have revolu-
tionized the cab business and proven
big dividend propositions for their
owners.
The first general glimpse of this
new opportunity came at the recent
session of the National Negro Busi-
ness league when the delegates well
coined the advent of its membership
into various fields viewed. but hither-
| TO untried.

Yellow Cab Example.

Yellow Cab Example.
The opportunity in the taxicab
game as offered to the group by the
Yellow Cab Manufacturing Company
was thoroughly discussed and indors-
ed by various members of the body,
and since the adjournment of the
league quite a number of substantial
business men over the country have
entered the taxicab business, pursu-
ing the scientific lines adopted by the
Yellow Cab Manufacturing Company.
1t was noticed by big operators all
over the country where Yellows are
in operation that colored people were
large buyers of cab service. In most
| cases where men of the group were
engaged in the business, however,
they operated large, expensive cars,
| unsuited to the taXicab business. In
| many places the cabs were in the
hands of disreputables who neither
gave good service or were trustwor-
thy. 1t was the same condition which
existed in the white field before the
| advent of the present day companies.
Inquiry started in Chicago encour-
aged colored firm to enter the field.
In a few weeks their patronage re-
quired them to place a fleet of 27
| cabs in the field and they are still
adding.
The Calumet Cab Company and
! Service Cab Company of this city, op-
Grated by Libert Lezama and William
E. F.. Pickett, respectively, are ex-
amples of what can be done in de-
veloping a financially successful cab
company.
! Both heads of the above named
company are unstinted in their praise
of constantly increasing patronage
and have ordered their equipment
doubled for immediate service. They
state the company has stood behind
them in every way, installing the
same system of operation which has
made Yellow Cabs famous every
where.
| "Big Four" Aim.
Mr.. Lezama, we'll known druggist
at 35th street and Calumet avenue,
from which stand his cabs are dis
patched, when asked as to the real es-
sentials contributing to Calumet sue
cess, gave expression to the big
four" as he termed it, in the new
cab game: Specially built cab vehi-
cles, low rates, competent, reliable
drivers and organized responsibility
He is a comparative new conner in
Chicago, but he had made his six
years count.
Mr.. Pickett, progressive real estate
dealer and an extensive owner OF
real estate, stated that the Yellow
Cab system eliminates all chance. He
further stated that the converted
pleasure car is not built to stand the
gruelling strain of cab service. Re
pair costs eat up revenue. Fifty pei
cent of the time such so-called taxi
cabs are out of commission. Honest
men realized that spasmodic, unreli
able service could not pay an hones
profit. "It's fascinating business

at his office.
