Uniforme para los cocheros

Abstract

The image contains a news item about a writing from Roque Tarpeyo to the director of "El Telegrama" to draw the attention of the mayor and the Municipal Council to the need to establish a mandatory uniform for the city's coachmen. He criticizes the unkempt and dirty appearance of many coachmen, which gives a bad impression to both locals and foreigners. He proposes that a decree be issued to improve the clothing of coachmen, suggesting economical alternatives such as a kepis and a jacket instead of the dirty ruana and leather shoes instead of espadrilles. He also points out that car service is expensive and often abusive, and that users deserve a more hygienic and professional service. News published in El Telegrama N° 1915, March 14 - 1893
