In order that no improvement might be neglected, every practical suggestion is actually incorporated in a car under construction in our shops, and once a month these suggested improvements are personally inspected by the Committee on Standards composed of higher officials of the Company. The development of the sleeping car, the parlor car and the enclosed vestibule are characteristic steps in the constant advance made by the Pul!man company in the perfection of its equipment. To this end every new in- vention practical for Pullman car construction is carefully considered, and, if contributing to safety or convenience is adapted to car requirements. Many of these improvement are of a highly technical nature_and contribute chiefly to safety. Others result primarily in added comfort, or convenience to passengers. All serve to anticipate the passengers’ requirements and meet the most exacting demands of the traveling public.
