Alexander Gall

Alexander Gall, Carriage Hirer, Crosshill Carriage Hiring Establishment, 68, Langside Road, and Branches.—

    In connection with carriage building it is necessary to make prominent mention of that of Alexander Grail, of the Crosshill Carriage Hiring Establishment, whose head office is at 68, Langside Road (telephone No. 1,496), and who has branches at Strathbungo Station, Pollokshields, and Victoria Drive, Mount Florida. Established in 1840 in Allison Street, Mr. Gall has occupied his present premises for eight years.

    The premises at 68, Langside Road, which communicate with the Exchange by telephone and with all Mr. Gall’s branches, consists of offices, the stables and coach-houses being two minutes’ walk therefrom. These form three sides of a large square, and comprise stabling for thirty horses, coach-houses, &c.

    On account of the thoroughly systematic management of Mr. Gall’s business, in which price lists of fares are supplied to his customers, and the strictest rules are laid down for the drivers of his machines, his vehicles have become generally patronised. His energy and upright character in business are the secrets by which Mr. Gall has secured his well-merited connection.
