MedfordJ1ITribune SECTION B MEDFORD, OREGON, SUNDAY, MAY 14, 1961 PAGES 1 to 8 ' J f 4 CHECKER CAB The Courtesy Cab com pany of Medford has added a "Checker 'cab" to its fleet of taxicabs. According to John Hill, (pictured standing by the cab) the ve-' hide is made by a firm in Kalamazoo, Mich., especially for use as a taxi-cab. It is higher, wider and more interior room than the average passenger car; and the back COURTESY CAbI J J door is wide enough to facilitate a wheel chair. Hill said Checkei cabs are widely used by companies in the East, but not so much on the West Coast. He said if the cab proves acceptable to the Medford public, the company may convert its entire five-car fleet to Checker cabs.
