[or-roots] lLivery Stables

[CKlooster at aol.com]

You're right...livery stables were forerunners of Avis and Hertz, Yellow  
Cab, and UPS.  Stables were for horses but livery stables were   commercial 
stables for temporary parking of "out of town horses" and for renting  horses and 
carriages...with driver or without.  One census listed  occupation as "Livery 
Driver"; ten years later the man was listed as "Drayer"  for a "Drayage Co.".  
Since he was working for his father's company, I  don't think his job changed 
much...it was just reinterpreted by a different  census taker.
