Hi, I'm an admin for a group called Child Labour and Education International, and we'd love to have this added to the group!

I also invite you to join Child Labour and Education International and share more photos and views..!

I HATE add-a-note! Isn't there a way to keep morons from cluttering up the photos with their inane insipid boxes and comments?

agreed. those are annoying. it says 1941 because it's january 1942.

if you remove your cursor from the image, the boxes will go away a second later. or just click all sizes and see it bigger, which is best. :o) this is such a great shot...

August 1913 saw the reformation of the taxi hacking industry in NYC. A new public hacking ordinance was introduced to abolish private cab stands and reduce taxi fare rates. The new ordinance went into effect at 0000hours on August 1, 1913. A new style of taximeter was also required adjusted to register the new rates of fare.
