Everybody New Company, Wsing Ford Cars, Going Into Business on London and Paris Basis of Popular Sérvice. 4 By Sophie Irene Loeb. After a two-year incessant cam- Paign on the part of The Evening World toward giving the public a Popular taxicab service similar to that operating in Europe, such a Gervice Is to be realized In Use an- jouncement to-day of a new taxicab eqmpany formed for that purpose. It will bo known as the Interna- tional Cab Company and will begin operation Oct. 1, at which time at least several hundred cabs will be put on the streets at a rate very near the prices charged in London and Paris— 25 cents for tho first half mile and five cents foo each additional quarter of a mile. ‘The men at the head of this cab company are well known in the tax- feab business of this city. Mr. P. J. Holdsworth, formerly manager of the Yellow Taxicab Company and until recently manager of the combination company (the Mason-Seaman and Yellow Taxicab Company) will be general manager of this concern, It will be remembered that 600 drivers ‘went out on a strike recently because he resigned as managor of the Mason- Mr. Inveterate Smoker Tt is unnecessary to inform you that the excessive use of TOBACCO leaves an ant taste in the ticularly Eat hori that the use of tobacco re- sults in the transference of microbes to the interior of the mouth.

Advi, ee ae a Taxicabs at Twenty Cents A Mile After Oct. 1 Will Let Have a Ride Seaman Company. Benedict M. Hol- den, formerly general counsel of the Yellow Taxicab Company, will be as- sistant manager and general counsel. It is generally conceded there are no two better informed taxicab men in this country, both having “grown up,” an it were, with the business. Particular attention will b rected to popularizing the taxicab to its fullest value, so that hun- dreds of people who rarely ride in taxicabs on account of former may avail them- of transi tion at low rates all over the city. When Mr. Holden was eeen rela- tive to the new compafly, he said: “This is to be a company with am- ple capital which will own and op- erate modern cars, and the manage- ment will be along modern business methods. 1 am now at work prepar- ing a charter and the. necessary pa- pers to perfect the organization of the Association.

Mr. P. J. Holdsworth, whom I One, the best taxicab manager in the United States, severed his connection with the Mason & Seaman Transportation Company and I immediately made &@ proposition to Mr. Holdsworth which he accepted. ‘Will Drive Out Rattletrap Taxleabe. ‘When asked what, in his opinion, the advent of the new would have on existing conditions and the companies now operating he replied: “Our taxicab company will solve the taxics problem in New York City to the satisfaction of blic and city officials, as well as the Leper men pareresiad in the coi we owii in etoct drive out oF ‘asl ness a lot of obsolete rattle-trap taxi- cabs. “Some of the ipment at present employed: in the taxicab business in New York City is deplorable and there is no excuse for a pulicy of high rates under the pretense of ‘private service,’ when the equipment em- ployed in the so-called ‘private ser- vice’ is not any better than that em- ;Ployed in the public service at the reduced rates. | “For several years the taxicab operators have profited under the | theory of P, T.

WELL TO EDUCATE THE PUBLIC TO EXPECT LOWER RATES. “Well, I hope they do,” replied Mr, Holden. “Our equipment isn't here yet, and somebody must begin this campaign of educating the public to a cheaper rate; besides, I never took any stock in the statements of the companies that they could not con- form to existing ordinances as to and feake money. re goin le give the pub- w car a ea to the busi- ness, handled by competent, con- scientious, safe and sober "ike and they will carry with safety and certainty to destination at a rate which is aR 4 cents a mile in excess of the rate charged in London.
