THIS WAS NOT UNEXPECTED. YELLOW CAB experience in "breaking in" in other cities has demonstrated the fact that they arouse bitter opposition in some circles. This "Underground stuff" these rumors, these "fake" calls which take our cabs to distant parts of the city, are all a part of what we EX PECTED to go thru when we decided to GIVE ASHE VILLE A MODERN PUBLIC SERVICE SYSTEM. y AS AN EXAMPLE OF THE EFFORT THAT IS BEING made to stem the tide of YELLOW CAB popu larity, one local hotel has issued instructions that call for the discharge of any employe who CALLS A YELLOW, even tho requested by a guest. WE WERE TOLD THIS BY SEVERAL MEN WHO WALKED TO OUR OFFICE WHEN THE HOTEL CLERK TOLD THEM THEY WERE NOT ALLOWED TO CALL YELLOW CABS TO THAT HOTEL. - ' ' ' THE "FAKE" CALLS ABOVE REFERRED TO are daily occurrences. They are made by the same grade of person who thinks it fun to call out the Fire Department on a false alarm and our cabs make many useless trips as a result. YET OUR SERVICE HAS- PROVED TO BE SPEEDY AND RELIABLE IN SPITE OF THAT. ACCIDENTS WILL HAPPEN. . DURING ONE Month's time, a YELLOW CAB will cover an average of 3,000 miles, compared to the 5,000 miles which is the average of a private car during ONE YEAR. It is hardly possible to expect a car to cover 36,000 miles in a year and not have accidents. We freely admit that we have ac cidents BUT we have yet to have an accident in' which' we were to blame. (We doubt whether there is anyone else who will be so. frank as to admit their liability to ac cidents.) I ' 4' -f v; ,-'; ; TO ILLUSTRATE THE PETTINESS OF THIS ANIMOSITY, we cite this: Our drivers are continually abused with such epithets as "Yellow Scab,". "Yellow Crab," and the like. h , -f - 4 4- IT IS ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE FOR ANY FIRM to secure a personnel that is 1 00 perfect. However, we do say this about THE YELLOW CAB SYSTEM it is such that incompetency quickly reveals itself and we get rid of the incompetent. Our personnel is unusually high in percentage of CHARACTER, ABILITY and DE PENDABILITY. - 4- 4 WE TELL THESE THINGS THAT OUR PUBLIC MAY BE fully informed as to the handicaps under which we operate and that they may appreciate the fact that our service remains unimpaired in any respect as the re sult of these attempts to impede it. ; f . 4 YELLOW CABS ARE HERE TO STAY! ' IT WILL take more than rumor, false alarms, and the like to even hinder their advance in Public Favor. Those whom they serve are best able to judge the Service. . 4 . . 4 4 4,4 4 THE FIRM OPERATING YELLOW CABS IS COMPOSED OF RESPONSIBLE men who are working toward the best interests of their patrons and the city in which they live. They brought YELLOW CABS to Ashe- ; ville because THEY WERE NEEDED and they have proverd their ability to FILL that need. 4 4 4 4 ' 4 4 WHEN YOU HEAR SOMETHING THAT RE FLECTS ON YELLOW CAB SERVICE, nail it and in vestigate it before you believe it I THE YELLOW CAB COMPANY, EDWIN ALLEN, GENERAL MANAGER. ?MIBir I f 1 I hi '-H.
