The Pullman Company's Profits

By Editor

The Pullman company started with a nominal capital of $1,250,000; it is now $120,000,000. In 1910 the company earned from its 5,283 cars the vast sum of $33,334,073. It paid a dividend of 8 per cent, and issued new stock for $20,000,000. The average Pullman car earns an average profit of $7.62 per day. The charges to passengers are exorbitant, and we hope that now the facts are given in part, the Interstate Commerce Commission may effect a reduction.
