A Pullman Automobile.
A seven-league stride in automobile construction is said to have been made in a 30-horse power machine built for Louis D. Schoenberg of Cleveland; but the immense power that it is capable of developing, while the greatest in any like machine, is of secondary importance when the unique features of construction of the car are considered. It is closed, and is a car in the sense of a railway private vehicle. It is fitted up in the interior in the highest style of art as understood for car decoration. There are sleeping car berths, privacy in which is secured by curtains, and the limit of luxury would appear to have been reached in the dining room and kitchen.
The lighting system is electric driven by a seven-horse power dynamo. The price of this novelty in transportation is said to be $35,000.
