Pullman Travel Soap

01

Artifact Overview

From its founding in 1867 until its demise a century later, the Pullman Company's name was synonymous with first-class travel on American railroads. Pullman not only built sleeping cars, it also operated them under contract with host railroads to ensure quality service. But Pullman's well-heeled passengers were the first to embrace air travel once it became a viable alternative.
