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.
