"Do you know Philip D. Armour of
Chicago i" nskod a vonor.iulo rhilndolphh
street-yonder , oomo days ago , of a Chicago
cage man. The latter had taken n gro.it
lot of soap to the city of Brotherly
Love nnd Imd advertised for uoddlora.
Tlio old limn wai ono of the Applicants ,
but was nevertheless genteel looking.
"I know of Mr. Armour , " was the re
ply. "Everybody in the west has heard
> f him. "
"Is ho very rich ? " said the old man ,
with nn interested air.
"Stvid to bo n millionaire , " nnaworcd
; ho other , promptly.
The genteel-looking old man sighed ,
vml , _ after a moment's silence , said :
"Philip D. Armour was indentured tone
no when n boy. Ho asked mo to ro-
uaso him , so that ho could go to Cnli-
'ornin , during the gold fever , and 1
did. "
The street-vendor at once became an
object of curiosity to the Clucagoan. As
a poddlpr ho did not succeed , lie was
industrious , but the business wontjill with
linn. Some months later , after the
Chicago man had returned homo , hemet
mot , the broad-Ghculkorod , good-na
tured looking packer in the street. ' 'Air.
Armour , " said lie , "do you know
Mr ? " giving the old Philadolphian's
name.
" 1 was bound out to that intui , " said
the packer , like a flash. "I asked
him for my release and ho gave it to mo ,
when I started for California. Where is
ho ? "
Then the circumstance of the meeting
in Philadelphia were given. Armour
took the old man's address. Some months
later the Chicngoan was in the cast
again. The soap-poddlor turned up.
"Do you know , " ho said , "that Philip
D. Armour sent mo $500 not long
ago ? " Before the two parted ho added :
"I atn real poor , but I don't like to
accept charity. Don't you suppose Mr.
Armour , somewhere in his great estab
lishment , could give mo a place whore
I might earn my living ? Ask him for
mo ? "
'That old man will never want so long
as I know his address , " said Armour
when this message was delivered to
him , "but I wouldn't have him in my
office if ho would work for nothing.
I don't want nlayod-foiit men around
mo. "
The Armour boys were born on a farm
in northern Now York , not far from
Watertown. Perry JH. Smith was raised
on a farm in the neighborhood ot their
homestead. The best country tavern for
many miles abound was kept by Perry
Smith's father. Everybody in the locali
ty know the Armours , not because they
were rich or inlluontial , but because the
boys had all of thorn such strapping broad
shoulders , and looked all of them as much
alike as peas in a pod. Philip Armour
was going to the country academy. A
gentleman now at Evanston was the prin
cipal. The boy played hookoy one after
noon , and , with the prettiest girl in the
academy , took a ride with a harrowed
horse and buggy. It was an innocent
escapade , but to the mind of the pedago
gue a terrible breach of discipline. Both
the youngsters were expelled. The boy
pleaded for his companion. The pedago
gue was inexorable. That night Philip
told his mother that if ho could got re
leased from his indenture ho would start
for California.
Armour's experience in California was
not different from that of thousands of
others who caught the gold foyer at about
the same time. The hardships of cross
ing the plains were great. Ho fell sick
and narrowly escaped dying. But ho got
to the gold-fields , and dug with bettor
success than the majority ; besides ho had
been taught by his mother to save. After
digging nnd saving , and trading and
laying away , lie started back caat and
uovcr stopped until ho got to Milwaukee.
There for some years ho did a grain-
receiving and warehouse business. From
the day ho reached California to a day
somewhere along in the sixties , whore ho
entered into partnership with Mr. Plank -
iuton , in Milwaukee , ho had made
money with amazing rapidity , Ho had
gotten together about $500,000. It was
with him a toss-up for awhile whether to
go into lumbering or pork-packing. Fi
nally ho bought out the interest of Mr.
Layton in the linn of Lay ton it Plankin-
ton.
During the war all the pork-packers
over the country made money. Half of
them were kept going filling army con
tracts. Chicago was not then the only
great packing city in the world. Cincin
nati , St. Louis , Cleveland and Now York
were the headquarters for the great pork
kings. The firm of Plankinton , Armour
& Co. were known aa a wealthy and well-
conducted concern , but the partners were
scarcely spoken of in the same breath
with some of the millionaire packers of
St. Louis and Cincinnati , Pork was go
ing just before the close of the war at
$ -10 a barrel. Armour says ho dreamed
ono night that there waste , boa , great
break in it. It sot him thinking. On the
way to his office ho stopped at Mr , Plank-
luton's house. "Pork's" too high , " said
the junior partner.
" 1 think-so , too , " answered the senior ;
"take the train this morning for Now
York , and neil what you can. "
"I can't got through , " replied Ar
mour.
"Novor mind , " eaid Plankinton , "got
as far as you can , "
Armour got to Now York , wont
"abort" of pork at $40 and never took it
ill until It was selling at 818. This WAS
Ilia great _ strike. It made him easily
a millionaire ; but the New York experi
ence , he has said ; was the most terrible
ho over had in his life worse than a trip
across the plains ton times ovor. There
was no Armour house at Gotham in those
days , The business was done through
Mcaira. Wallace it Wicks , a great firm
which ranked as Dews & Co. , does now.
All the big packers in the country , with
a very few exceptions , were "bulls" on
provisions. Sid Kent reached Now York
abouttho tiiao Phil Armour did and was a
"boar" too. But the Cleveland packers ,
the Indianapolb , Cincinnati , St. Louis
and Now York manufacturers were buy
ers. Messrs. Wallace A Wiclcu did business -
ness for all , were besides bullish themselves -
solves , and loaded up with product upon
which advances had been made. There
were conferences each night at the Fifth
Avowue hotel , traps were sot , invitations
issued , dinners given , heaven and oartli
moved to got young Armour nnd Konl
into the great provision pot. Anrtmtr
would not go near the mooting * , and
would have nothing to do with the pool ,
lie insisted on Belling , but found it nn
easy thing to do. Ho ordered his agonta
to soil a largo lot of pork. They nskod
him if ho had it to sell. It was none of
their business , ho said. If they
wanted margins lot them nauio
the sum. Seoliiifj "short" ras ,
they declared , wicked bniiness.
They'd never done it and didn't approve
of it. They tried to porsundo Armour
that ho was wrong , but would give no do-
cislvo rofii3.il. Stopping across the street
to a well known broker's oflico , ho gave
an order to sell 10,000 barrels , simply
announcing his name. "Boforo 1 know
that the order had been given , " said Mr.
Armour , not long ago , in describing this
experience , "tho sales were reported. I
asked the broker what margin ho wanted.
Ho said that ho would arrange it in the
morning.1' This was the first of his
short selling. Ho continued it to the
terror of the whole provision market for
three months. From morning until night ,
day in and day out , for ninety days ho
haunted the ollico of his agents. Custo
mers whom they would rcfuso to soil to ,
ho would intercept and accommodate.
The old Presbyterians who formed the
concern , and who were so vitally inter
ested on the "bull" side of pork , prayed
for his removal. The Cleveland , Indianapolis -
dianapolis , Cincinnati and Now York
pool celebrated his departure. Pork had
tumbled about $5 a barrel since
his selling began. When the Mil-
waukean was about to leave for homo ,
Kingon , a great operator of that day ,
said ho wanted to make just ono trade
moro. "I'll sell you 1,000 barrels of
pork. " "I'll take it , " replied Kingon ;
"you'll ' want it back when pork is § 00. "
"I'll deliver you that pork , " said Ar
mour , "when the price Is § 18. " Ho did.
The packers with a few exceptions from
ono end of the country to the other wcro
ruined by the tumble. Armour and 'his
partner became the greatest provision
men in the world. ToWallaco & Wicks ,
who had treated him so shabbily , ho de
clared "I'll drive you out of business. "
Ho did. Messrs. II. O. Armour it Co.
were soon after established and an oflico
taken next door to the Armour's former
representative. Within a very few years
the sign of Messrs. Wallace & Wicks
came dotrn. Only the old traders now
remember them.
The millionaire packer admits that this
wonderfully successful operation , just before
fore the close of the war , was a huge gam-
bio. If Grant and Sherman hud not suc
ceeded , or if their success had been de
layed and the war continued a year
longer , the hot might have boon lost in
stead of won. Armour hazarded an im
mense stake upon the success of a couple
of generals. It was the last risk of the
kind , however , ho claims , ho ever took.
The vast sales of 1801 were staked upon
events over which ho had not the slight
est control , about which ho had no defi
nite information. The enormous pur
chases of pork in 1878 and 187' ' * were in
no such sense a gamble. They were made
upon the information which the packer
had of the world's supply and demand ,
and of the cost of manufacture and of his
own resources. Armour is popularly sot
down as a gigantic speculator , immensely
richer and sharper than the other gam
blers in produce at Chicago , but no
better.
The Armours were counted good fight
ers when they were on the farm in Now
York state. Phil Armour was ono of the
few "tenderfoot'1 who wvs not imposed
upon and robbed in the California gold-
fields. Ho has been all his life as com
bative in business as in the other walks
of lifo. "Tho dofonco of his collars"
cost him in 1878 a clean million , but the
loss did not make him abandon it. Ho
redoubled it. Finally his opponents were
glad to bo lot off after paying $4,000,000
tribute. The wheat deal was not begun
in dofonco of "tho collars , " but to save a
partner and friend. Plankinton nnd
Korshaw were inextricably in the meshes
of that speculation before Armour know
n thing about it. Hn abandoned a con
templated trip to Europe , nnd assumed
the burden and the onus of it simply to
protect an old friend.
"Thoro arc , " said n gentleman ac
quainted with the working of the great
packer's business , " 117 clerks in the
Washington atroot oIRco. Eighty of
these are employed day in and day out
making out bills. There is not a city in
south where the o is not an agent of
Phil Armour not a market of consequence
quence in Europe where there are not
others. Every morning messages arc
sent to these representatives , giving them
the quotations of the day ; every night
they wire back the transactions of the
day. Cables each morning are sent to a
dozen European cities , and answers each
night received. Armour it Co's mail ag
gregates each day 1,000 letters in nnd
l,000out. Every twenty-four hours requi
sitions nro made upon the dill'erent rail
roads for from 100 to 200 freight cars ,
and each car bears not less than twenty
tons of product. Armour himself owns
300 of the finest refrigerator cars on
wheels. They carry his dressed bpcf to
and fro. The men wumen and children
aifpported by the great packer would
make a city of 50,000 inhabitant , for
there are on the pay rolls at Chicago ,
Milwaukee and Kansas City not less than
10,000 mon. "
At a little before 7 o'clock each morn
ing , as the last of the printers are getting
homo , and before the day-watch has
changed places with the night-watch at
the telegraph oflico , u carriage drives
rapidly along Washington street nnd
stops in front of the packer's ollico. Ar
mour himself stops out , outers his oflico
nnd begins his work. Ono man lias pre
ceded him and opened his cables. The
rest of the oflico docs not arrive for nn
hour. Armour is waked at 5 o'clock ,
breakfasts at 0 and is invariably at his
oflico nt 7 a. in. He loaves nt 0 p. in.
The eleven hours intervening are crowded
with work.
"Do you suppose , " asked the writer of
n gentleman m a position to know ,
"that Phil Armour is conversant with
the details of his vast ostnblishmonUi ? "
"I know ho is , " was the answer.
"Thoro is not a department ho could not ,
in an emergency , take charge of and
manage bettor than any man.in his cm-
ploy. Ho knowa just what is all the
while going on. Ho iaaiallied in this
by a marvelous memory. Lot a bid come
by wire to-day for anything , big or little ,
lie could remember it a fortnight hence
if there has boon such u change in affairs
that is desirable to entertain it. Ho ar
ranges details himself , from the paint
ing of ono of hia yellow wagons to the
building of $300,0004worthof refrigerator
cars. "
Every morning there ia placed before
him a littlu ticket about the size of a
calling card , It represent ! ) the cash in
Chicago in bank. It is aid that this is
never far from $1,000,000. The capital
of Ann < uritCo. ; $10000,000.-ispr.obab- ?
ly larger than that of any other concern ,
not banking , in the world. Nor la this
made up of ofllcoTixturos , real estate am
traps. The bent authority upon this
point snys it is Ml cash , nnd that the firm
is worth $20,000,000. , Half of it bolo.Ofls
to Philip D. Armour.
Ho is n partisan , strong , active , vigil- '
nnt as a friend , but rolonllosss , untiring
and unforgotful as im enemy. Ho is the
only produce upecumtor in this market
with a following. There was never fi
Hutchinson crowd or a Kent party.
There has always boon nn Armour party.
U has always boon small , but n most
dangerous combination to fall foul of.
Ho is charitable unquestionably the
largest _ giver in Chicago. His charily ia
[ > rovorhial , Ho has never founded n
library or n picture gallery , nnd never
.vill. . The stockyard workman who goes
lo the rich packer with his troubles never
joes away ompty-handod. Some really
generous givers follow their gifts. Ar-
nour'a donations are placed without
{ unhfication nt the disposal of the appli
cant. Some yours ago n Chicago minister
applied to the pnckor for aid for n young
woman who was in distress in this city.
A liberal sum was put at the disposal of
Jio man of God. After some little delay
ho money wns returned with nn oxplann-
ion that the young lady had refused sat-
sfactorily to nnswor some questions. She
could not toll , it was said , why she was
vas nwnv from her homo. The minister
tressed her to make a confession. She
loclared she had nothing to confess.
From that day to this the packer nnd the
nan of God have never spoken. Mrs.
Vrmour , n very sweet lady , carried out
ho mission the minister abandoned. The
jirl was tenderly cared for until the day
if her death , which occurred very shortly
ftor the incident happened.
