	Pg.19 of Harold A Smith's book:  *Touring Pgh by Trolley*  shows the
back of 1790 with the safety slogan.  This came out in the 1950s.  It 
*may*  have been put on anything running; 1713 had it at one time. 
Can't say as I recall it on tens and elevens nor even twelves, but the
rest of the series definitely had these slogans.  At least 2-different
styles.  Green lettering.
	It's not often we see the rear of the car in still photography; more
common in videos and movies!
	PRCo was quite safety conscious and even had whole cars painted as such
with both High- and Low-floor cars.
