NORTH PULLMAN.
About one-fourth of a mile north of the Allen works are the vast buildings pertaining to the Union Foundry and Pullman Car-Wheel Works, of which N. S. Boutan is esident. In these buildings are cast from two
hundred and twenty to two hundred and fifty car-wheels per diem ; and from fifty to seventy-five tons of such castings for architectural and other purposes as may be ordered. The buildings are: A main building one hundred and three feet frontage and eight hundred and seventy-two feet deep ; a wheel foundry seventy-two feet by two hundred and fifteen fect, in conjunction with whien are a cupola room twenty-six feet by sixty-two feet, and a core-room forty feet square ; a foundry for Car-castings, sixty-two feet by three hundred feet, and the cupala attached thereto twenty-six feet by thirty-two feet ; the architectural foundry, in rear of this last builling, sixty-two feet by two hundred feet, with a cupola of the same size as that of the car-castings foun- dry ; in the rear of this building is a building sixty-two feet by seventy-two feet, where heavy castings are made, and the facilities are such that a casting weighing fifty thousand pounds can be made ; in the rear of this building is a core-room sixty-two feet by seventy-seven feet ; and adjacent to the car-castings and architectural foundries is another foundry-room and core-oven, occu- pying an area of fifty-three feet by four hundred and eighteen feet. Another main building, sixty two feet front by five hundred and forty-four feet in depth, com- priscs : the blacksmith shops, sixty-feet by one hundred and fifty-seven feet ; the machine shop, sixty-two feet by two hundred feet, near which are the boiler-house and engine-room, fifty feet by eighty-four feet ; the chimney of the boiler-house is twelve fect in diameter and one hundred feet high. In rear of the machine shop are the finishing shops, sixty-two feet by one hun- dred and three feet, with a wing attached sixty-two feet by one hundred and forty feet. In the rear end of this building is the pattern shop, measuring sixty-two feet by eighty-eight feet, to the left of which is the store- house for patterns, three stories high and forty feet by one hundred and forty feet, quadrangular measurement. The offices occupy a separate two-story building forty feet by twenty-three feet .*
As the necessities of this vast enterprise are created new buildings are erected ; these and the hundreds of dwellings built for the workmen after the general plan of those at Pullman constitute North Pullman ; although the buildings that have been erected between the Bou- ton and Allen works have hyphenated North and Main Pullman and made them a compound town. The Union Foundry and Pullman Car-Wheel Works employ one thousand workmen and use about two hundred tons of iron per diem : they, in addition to their variety of other work, make all the castings for the National Mortising Machine Company, of Chicago, and likewise make the large castings used in the Board of Trade building. There seems to be no reason why the Union Foundry should not rival the celebrated works of the Carnegie Brothers.
In conclusion it may be remarked that this article may be successful in conveying an approximate idea of Pullman to the reader ; but, as was remarked at the commencement of this article, phraseology is inadequate to describe the place ; in going over it in propria persona, the mind becomes bewildered in trying to follow out the realizations in brick and mortar of these far seeing adepts of commercial enterprise, and the imagination gazes in helpless chaos of incomprehensibility at the magnitude of statistics. Seventy-five thousand car loads of building material used up to August t, 1883 ; thirty miles of railroad track running in and about the works ; six millions of dollars spent in creating the town ; three

HISTORY OF COOK COUNTY.
thousand five hundred acres of land belong to the Pull- man cumpany : the employés number from three thon- sand eight hundred to four thousandmen. Such figures are facts, hut are they comprehensible as displayed in the landscape of Pullman ? Decidedly not ; simply be- cause Pullman is not one of a species, it-like Napoleon -is its own ancestor and is comparable with no other extant town or city. It is not alone a wonder as to its present, but a wonder as to its possibilities of the fu- ture ; it was built to grow both as to its manufacturing ability and its inhabitation ; e. g., the car shops manu- facture fifteen freight cars per diem, by increasing the force from two hundred to six hundred men, forty freiglit cars can be turned out ; the plant is there for present necessities and the probable need of the future. And of the large acreage of the Pullman Land Com- pany, a portion will be devoted to the use of those who
desire to purchase their homes ; long time and small interest, with liberal, but intelligent and remunerative, assistance to those huilding will be granted. The moral of Pullman is that unity of interest in capital and labor is not only feasible and practicable, but remunerative : the moral effect is what has been considered by George M. Pullman, antl that will be to cause employers to con- sider the most effectual method of advancing the mental and moral status of their employés. George Peabudy did much, George M. Pullman has done more, for the latter has demonstrated how philanthropy and business calculation and profit can go hand in-hand, and Pullman stands at striking reproof to the grinding monopolists, and of it can be said relative to George M. Pullman what the old Roman said of Caesar and Rome: " Si monumentum quaeris; circumspice !"
