Above: Black & White taxis at the CPR station about 1928. The company was started in 1918 by Lorne Bucknam and James C. Walmsley. It operated as Bucknam & Walmsley until about 1925 when its name was changed to Black & White. The company survived until 1951. Below: Ad for Black & White Taxi from the 1925 Winnipeg telephone book. The telephone stations are all in central Winnipeg (none in the suburban municipalities).
