Higher Taxis?

"A little curiosity on page 351 of John Woods' translation of Buddenbrooks (Vintage):

If we have lower postal rates these days--and stamps and book rates and mailboxes and a telegraph connection between Berlin and Travemunde--he's not the last person we have to thank for it, and if he and a few other people has not constantly urged the senate to act, we would have lagged behind the Danish and Thurn and Taxis postal services forever. And so, when I offer my opinion about such matters now, people listen.

Unfortunately, no mention of the  Tristero, although Thomas Buddenbrook has been very circumspect about the use of trash bins on his estate.

But anyway, it is interesting to see  T und T in context"
