Description

Transcription: Safe Bus Company, World's largest black owned bus company, Winston Salem. 1926 American enterprise at its best! At high point, this company operated 54 buses, employed 160 persons, including two attorneys, two physicians, a CPA, 104 uniformed drivers, and transported 7 million passengers a year! A subsidiary, the Camel Cab Company, generated $120,000 a year in revenues and the yearly payroll for SBC was $220,000! Nearly seven decades later, no Black business in Winston can say the same! There's a rich future in our past! Thanks Elijah T. Miller!"
