Biographical History

Company formed in September, 1888, with an intended capitalization of 3 million dollars to purchase and revive two failing sleeping car companies, Mann's Boudoir Car Co. and the Woodruff Sleeping and Parlor Coach Co.

Undercapitalized from the the outset, it was clear Union Palace would not be viable and it was purchased by Pullman's Palace Car Co. after three months. Until 1909, Union retained its corporate identity and operated out of Pullman's Chicago office.

From the description of Records, 1889-1913. (Newberry Library). WorldCat record id: 32462574
