THE strenjgth of the Pullman
Car represents one of the
best forms of insurance the
traveler can buy.
For seven years every car
built by the Pullman Company
for its service has been of steel.
During this period a large
proportion of the older, but
still modern cars, have also
been rebuilt to almost equal
strength.
This has been accomplished
by rebuilding with steel under
frames, steel vestibules and
steel sheathing on the sides.
