John Stewart #1505 Hi Ike and all, Seems like cheap travel till you realize that (according to Lending Tree) $23 in 1915 is worth $593 today!

Business was down in 1915 so the railroad was looking for whatever they could do to save money by cutting off cars. Many versions of this form are in several Presidents' files boxes. Is anyone aware of a list of Pullman line numbers that operated on the Southern? The files refer to them for both "sleeper" ("Pullman" is hardly ever seen in the files) and parlor cars. Ike
