Inventino the sleepino Car.


 Inhabitants of Central City, Colo, will tell you that George Pullman got his idea for his sleeping car from the little cabin he occupied near the stamp mill he owned and ran in Russel Gulch when he was pioneer at that place in the early sixties. This cabin had it's sleeping quarters in the form of hunks along the wall to leave more space for the living room. In speaking to his friends of his idea of sleeping car Pullman said it would look like cabin with hunks along the sides In 1862 Pullman left Central City, having made considerable money from his va rious ventures there. He kept experi- menting along the lines of his idea and in 1863 constructed the first sleeping car of commercial value.-WaH Street Journal 4
