Biographical History
York County, Pa., plant, which produced automobiles, also known as Pullman Motor Car Company.
Manufacturer of railroad sleeping and passenger cars founded by George M. Pullman; incorporated in 1867 as Pullman's Palace Car Company; name changed to Pullman Company in 1899; Pullman Incorporated formed 1927 with Pullman Company and Pullman Car & Manufacturing Corp., becoming its principal subsidiaries; Pullman Company sold to a group of railroads in 1947.
From the incorporation of the Pullman's Palace Car Company in 1867 to the acquisition of Wagner Palace Car Company in 1899, Pullman systematically acquired most of the significant sleeping car operations in the United States.
It also established a subsidiary firm in Great Britain, and it moved into the manufacture of cars and rail and car equipment. In 1924, the vast corporation, having consolidated its sleeping car operations into a virtual monopoly, expanded its freight car construction capacities with the acquisition of the Haskell and Barker Car Company.
