Before private jets, there were luxurious private train cars.
The 19th century’s definition of luxury came as a train car designed by a Chicago carpenter. The Pullman Car Company, founded by George Pullman based his success on two ideas: luxury and revenue. Employing both traditional craftsmen and an early version of the assembly line, he created cars that appealed to the Victorian taste for ornamentation—lush carpeting, brocade upholstery, and chandeliers. He installed double-glazed windows and an improved suspension for a quieter, more comfortable ride. The name Pullman came to stand for quality and class.
what an incredibly valuable addition to my vocabulary
Okay but imagine you’re a tiny lizard living your humble & scaly life well hidden inside tomato leaves and then one day God starts leaving hills of brownies and avocado toasts three times the size of your head right by your front door.
