The architect of Pullman, ILL.,, was
W. w. Bemau. He was Justly
proud Of his work and justifedly
anxious to be identified with it in the
memory of posterity. SO one day,
soon after the town was completed,
the Chicago Tribune relates, he came
to the proprietor and said: "Mr.
Pullman, if you haven't decided on
any name for the new town, what do
you think of calling it Beman, from
the man who designed it?" "Um-m, ="
said the magnate. "Fact is, l had
thought of calling the place Pullman,
from the man who built it and paid
for it. However," Mr.. Pullman added,
as he observed look of disappoint-
ment on the architects face, chow
ever, I'm not particular. Now what
do you say to a compromised Sup
pose we take the first syllable of my
name, Pull, and the second syllable
of your nsme, man There we have
it, Pull, 'man'-'Pullman.' You see,
that combines your idea with mine. +"
Mr.. Pullman's suggestion prevailed,
and the name, it seems, is a compro-
mise.
