	Pullman - LoveToKnow 1911
		PULLMAN, formerly a town of Cook county, Illinois, U.S.A., and now a part of the city of Chicago.
		The place was founded in 1880 by George Mortimer Pullman (1831-1897), the inventor of the Pullman sleeping car, and the founder (1867) of the Pullman Palace Car Company, who attempted to make it a "model town." Even the public works were the property of the Pullman Company and were managed as a business investment.
		Popular discontent with the conditions led to the annexation of Pullman to Chicago in 1889, but until 1910 the corporation held most of the property.
