Taxicabs first ran the streets of New York City on 13 August 1907. "Harry N. Allen didn’t like the fares that horse drawn carriages charged, so he decided to start his own taxi service. Allen’s New York Taxicab Company started service in 1907 after Allen imported 65 red and green autos from France. He decided to paint his cars yellow so that they were more noticeable from a distance." We bought this sculptured tie on Times Square more than twenty years ago.
