Telegraph “Whitecab," Wellingtbn, and a Black and White Taxi will meet you—no extra charge to above cabs arc “Hail Them Anywhere” THAT means that Wellington now has the newest, Hie most up-to-date and most efficient Taxi Service in the Dominion. To-day, a complete and virile service of Taxis for the Public has sprung into being. No longer will one be reluctant to call “Taxi!** j Never again need one pay an exorbitant fare for the privilege of covering distance in a burry. No more arguments with coolly indifferent drivers, whose attitude is often as objectionable as their mental arithmetic is amazing. BLACK AND WHITE CABS ARE HERE. They offer to Wellington citizens these unique and hitherto unknown advantages:— ECONOMY: Under the BLACK AND WHITE regime the multitade have their motors—every man his own car. The public can at last ride in Taxis as cheaply as in any city in the Southern Hemisphere. There are reasonable fixed rates for spedfied distances, making BLACK AND WHITE CAB riding neither an extravagance nor luxury, but a travelling method within everybody’s reach, at everybody’s instant service. SAFETY: Every one of the fleet of BLACK AND WHITE CABS has an expert at the wheel; a man courteous and cheerful, and contented * •his job; knowing his work from A to 2. CONVENIENCE: BLACK AND WHITE CABS are at your i call—Day or Night. A ’phone call to 28-180 will bring a BLACK AND WHITE CAB to your side in a few moments. CLEANLINESS: Unless a taxi is scrupulously clean, it and its tewke cannot be efficient. Cab cleanliness is a vital part of BLACK AND WHITE CAB Service. You will see, feel and smell, the frdi, whrlnran' clean-ness of a BLACK AND WHITE CAB. E»<A is a Taxi in its strictest sense, being fitted with a Taxi Meter. Yea know exactly what there is to pay for any given distance. The Muter registers accurately. Charges are not left to the vivid imagination of the old-style driver, as is Hie case with other than Black and White Cabs. Yea pay what the Meter reads, no more, no less. Yon pay only for the time you actually use the Cab—never doubting, never arguing, never discontented. The Meter System is fair to the fare, and fair to the enterprising organisation behind BLACK AND WHITE CABS. This is one great reason why we confidently ask, expect and deserve Wellington’s patronage. As the meter system is new to Wellington, the following few simple examples of meter readings will be useful:— There is no £ column. The meter records shillings and pence only, and will register up to 995. 9d. The first two figures are Shillings, the third Peace. The illustration shows a meter registering 21/9 —not £2 Is. 9d. The Meter doesn’t argue. It is there for'you and Black and Whitp Cab Drivers to read with equal dearness. It is the system in vogue in every big city of the World. • jr.iv. * ‘Phone 28-180 Day or Night. ItlAOvl'j: 1114 CABS cv - \ \ v< 7hj dqy or night ccdl Tflack, C TJ'fefce-*
