P. D. Armour.

During his life Philip d. Armour was
probably the most typical OF all the Chi
cagos great captains OF industry. says
Richard Linthicum IN Ainslee's. lie was
the leader in the great enterprises 20
utilize the by-products OF the packing
houses until now they equal I'm value the
chief meat products. A newspaper friend
OF mine called upon the great packer one
day 20 get an interview upon n subject
MIR. Armour was not willing TO discuss.
l. reply TO the newspaper mans Leading
questions Mr.. Armour explained 20 him
a new method of making sausages. He
invited the interviewer into back room.
where a number OF covered dishes were
arranged upon table. Removing a nap
k1h from one, he revealed platter or the
new sausages, and, pointing 10 them, In
qured: 'Ain't they just beautiful?"
And this little incident, trihing though
II was, gives better insight into the
character OF the leader OF the packing
industry than columns of analysis could
give. His question and his expression OF
countenance revealed the secret OF his
success. Those sausages were beautful TO
him-more beautiful than a Sargent por-
| trait, better worth looking at than rare
| Turner. His heart and mind were in his
business. He enjoyed IL, took pride in IL,
concentrated his great natural abilities
upon one thing, and the result was not
| only individual success, but a general ex-
pansion OF the packing industry until IL
reached gigantic proportions and such
perfection that. as Mr. Armour put it,
they saved everything there was or a
hog except the squeal.
His knowledge OF his own business gave
him a wonderful information concerning
food products generally. and when his
agents went into the wheat pit or the
provision market il usually meant
Waterloo for some of the young Napo-
Icons His biggist DEAL probably, was
when John Cudahy undertook TO corner
provisions, or, specifically, ribs" In
1895. Armours wagons were all painted
yellow, an offensive color 90 your true
Celt. and II is reported that, at the be-
ginning of the deal. Cudahy remarked up
on seeing one of the yellow wagons: Be
fore i get through with Armour III
make him paint his wagons green"
The details of that bitter fight are much
the same as those OF all great specula-
tive battles. except that when Cudahy
and his associate I'm the fight, n. h. Fair
bank went upon the street with $SO0,OOO or
gilt-edged securities, no banks were
lending money, and they were forced 10
surrender TO the Provision King. Cudahy.
Il is said lost i've millions of dollars, went
broke" and was compelled 20 give notes
for a portion OF his Indebtedness. This
he has since liquidated, and is once more
a foeman worthy OF any mans steel.
