(Revised) Dale Carnegie - How to win friends and influence people-Simon and Schuster (1981)

steel rails to the Pennsylvania Railroad. J. Edgar Thomson
was the president of the Pennsylvania Railroad then.
So Andrew Carnegie built a huge steel mill in Pittsburgh
and called it the “Edgar Thomson Steel Works.”
Here is a riddle. See if you can guess it. When the
Pennsylvania Railroad needed steel rails, where do you
suppose J. Edgar Thomson bought them?. . , From
Sears, Roebuck? No. No. You’re wrong. Guess again.
When Carnegie and George Pullman were battling
each other for supremacy in the railroad sleeping-car
business, the Steel King again remembered the lesson
of the rabbits.
The Central Transportation Company, which Andrew
Carnegie controlled, was fighting with the company that
Pullman owned. Both were struggling to get the sleeping-
car business of the Union Pacific Railroad, bucking
each other, slashing prices, and destroving all chance of
profit. Both Carnegie and Pullman had gone to New
York to see the board of directors of the Union Pacific.
Meeting one evening in the St. Nicholas Hotel, Carnegie
said: “Good evening, Mr. Pullman, aren’t we making
a couple of fools of ourselves?”
“What do you mean.?" Pullman demanded.
Then Carnegie expressed what he had on his mind - a
merger of their two interests. He pictured in glowing
terms the mutual advantages of working with, instead of
against, each other. Pullman listened attentively, but he
was not wholly convinced. Finally he asked, “What
would you call the new company?” and Carnegie replied
promptly: “Why, the Pullman Palace Car Company,
of course.”
Pullman’s face brightened. “Come into my room,” he
said. “Let’s talk it over.” That talk made industrial history.
