Ralph Schulty has disposed of his taxi and bus business in Washington. The garage on North Town Avenue was sold and the taxi operation moved to the Graham Theater building, now held by Curtis & Ross. Clarence Brinning bought the bus and baggage wagon and runs that line. The taxi office remains with Curtis & Ross, with Brinning in the same Graham building office. Towa City’s taxi line to Iowa City shows growing business as transport to the university town becomes more popular.
