Antique Chests & Trunks

I have an antique something, chest or locker?

ok so this thing is aboout four foot by two foot and I dunno a foot and a half deep. On the inside it has four drawers and like a place in the door to hang up your clothes and suitcase that locks in the door as well. Made by the Gorman Company. A sticker in it states Wheary-Burge Trunk Company, Racine, Wisconsin. And has a list of patent dates from 1909-1921. I havent found a date it was made or a serial number yet. I am tring to learn where to find these or what this is forsure called.
It is quite a bit like the steamer trunk, and after I posted I found a few links. Just working on when it was made:) Thanks everyone.

hard to say from the description. my first thought was a portmanteau. here’s one example. something like this?

Grand Trunk Junction Railway $78.07 Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. The Grand Trunk Junction Railway was a subsidiary of the Grand Trunk Railway that built a connecting line along 49th Street in Chicago, Illinois. The company was incorporated on June 11, 1880, and opened on August 29, 1881 under lease to the Chicago and Grand Trunk Railway. Its line was doubletracked and began at the Chicago and Grand Trunks main line at Elsdon, heading east across the Columbus, Chicago and Indiana Central Railway and just south of the Union Stock Yards to a junction with the Chicago and Western Indiana Railroad, a terminal railroad that gave the Chicago and Grand Trunk access to downtown Chicago, and which the Grand Trunk Junction acquired a onefifth interest in. The Polk and Fortyninth Streets Junction Railway, which did not construct any railroad, was incorporated on March 27 and merged into the Grand Trunk Junction on June 21, 1889. On January 15, 1901, just after the Chicago and Grand Trunk was reorganized as the Grand Trunk Western Railway, the latter company bought the property of the Grand Trunk Junction.
