By March 1910, the Connecticut Cab Co. (essentially the directors of New Departure Manufacturing Co.) assumed operating control of Wyckoff, Church and Partridge's taxis.The 'Yellow Taxicab Co.' was incorporated in New York on April 4, 1912. Its independent corporate life was fairly short, however, as fare wars and restrictions forced a merger with the Mason-Seaman Transportation Co. on March 3, 1914.The Yellow Cab Company of Chicago (not to be confused the Yellow Taxicab Co.) was founded by John Hertz in 1914.
After finding success in painting their cabs yellow to attract would-be riders, Hertz reorganized as the Yellow Cab Company in 1915 with 40 cabs.
According to Yellow Cab Co. tradition, the color (and name) yellow was selected by John Hertz as the result of a survey by the University of Chicago which indicated it was the easiest color to spot.The Yellow Cab Manufacturing Company was formed in 1920.
In 1924, he acquired a rental car company and renamed it Hertz Drive-Ur-Self Corporation.
