Garber is a decent businessman like Foulks (self-employed) and Lutfallah (publisher), never ever lied...

"New Cabs Merging Onto Chicago Streets
Company Promises To Be Cut Above The Rest"
--------------------------------------
When I began driving a Flash cab, I wore a white shirt and a skinny blue tie every day. If I wore jeans, Hymie would have run me off the lot. My shoes might not have been spit shined, but they weren't sandals, and my hair was neatly combed.
It wasn't a hard standard to meet for a veteran, and the people who called for Flash cabs did so because they knew they were going to be serviced by drivers who were a cut above. We didn't have to drive for Dickholtz and didn't have to meet his standards, but it sure did pay. From 1972 to 1975 I never drove with my "not for hire" sign up unless it was at the airport - radio calls only.
Did Garber have the right idea? Was I wrong to sue Jane Byrne years ago over the uniform issue?
