Helena, Montana. Odd Shares, U/U Capital Stock Certificate, Black print on black border, Image of stage coach being pulled by horse team at top, VF-XF condition. After several conflicts between motorized vehicles and horse-drawn stagecoaches resulted in injuries, at Yellowstone Park, park officials made the motorization of all park transport mandatory by the fall of 1916. The Yellowstone Park Transportation Company contracted with White Motor Company in Ohio for the procurement of over 100 motor buses, also called touring cars. While functionally unimpressive, the vehicles’ bright yellow paint job, fleet size, and working conditions drew the attention of tourists and industry experts alike. By 1936, Yellowstone boasted a fleet of over 350 English Coach Yellow vehicles. These buses loaded up at popular places like the Old Faithful Inn, the Mammoth Hot Springs Hotel, and the Canyon Hotel.
