Arms Palace Horse Car Co.


Another Car manufacturing Company was the Arms Palace Horse Car Company. They didn't necessarily manufacture the car as presented in Fred Dahlinger Jr.'s fantastic photo documentary called "Show Trains of the 20th Century". On page 115, he carries a photo of a steel car made by the Pullman company for the Arms Palace Horse Car company in use on the Cetlin and Wilson Shows. Even though I studied the Cetlin & Wilson Show for over a year and wrote a lengthy article about it in the Carnival Midway, I was not able to determine when this car was taken off of the road or where it went. This ad was in the Billboard on October 17, 1914 on page 22.
