The Marysville High School Literary Socio I t THE.PULLMAN COMPANY rs of the Pullman Company. The safety of the cars, due to their unusually sturdy construction; the sanitary condition in which they are main tained; the numerous conveniences which their equipment affords, and the courtesy of the Pullman employes are all factors contributing to the increased comfort and enjoyment of railroad travel. In the Pullman car only a limited number of passengers are accommodated; there is no crowding. Operating over practically every railroad in the country, it is rarely necessary for the passengers to change cars from departure to destina tion. Both of these conditions contribute to the safety and comfort of unescorted women and children. For fifty years the Pullman Company has directed its efforts to the determination of the needs of the traveling public, and the development of a service to meet these requirements. That twenty-nine per cent of Pullman con ductors and twenty-five per cent of Pullman porters have been in the continuous service of the Company for over ten years indicates the high personnel of the employes by whom the service is rendered. t .
