Explore "The Low Cost of Cabbing" by Oliver Herford on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
In the last ten years or so all the necessaries and most of the luxuries of life have more than doubled in cost-all but one-the Cab-or to be more accurate, the Taxi-cab.
Perhaps it is because a cab is quite as often a necessity as it is a luxury and so falls between two schools, the Stoic and Epicurean, that it is an exception to the rule of rising cost.
