Born on a Farm, He Starts Out Young to Make a Fortune, And Makes It, Some of His “Corners"” of 1 The System Oftice—~His Peculiar Characteristics, Chicago Timos, “Do you know Philip D. Armour of Chicagoi” asked a venerable Philadelphia street-vender, some days ago, of a Chi- cago man. The latter had taken a groat lot of soap to the city of Brotherly Love and had advertised for veddlors, The old man was one of the applicants but was nevertheless genteel looking. “I know of Mr. Armour,” was the re- ply. “Everybody in the west has heard of him." ““Is ho very rich?” said the old man, with an interested air. “Said to be a millionaire," the other, promptly. The gentecl-looking old man sighed, and, after a moment's silence, said: “Philip D. Armour was indentured to me when & boy. He asked me to ro- lease him, so that he could go to Cali- fornia, during the gold fever, and I did.” The street-vender at once became an object of curiosity to tho Chicagoan, As o peddler he did not succeed. Ho was industrious, but the business wentjill with hum. Some months later, after the Chicago man had returned home, he met, the broad-shoulkered, good-na- tured looking packer in the street. *‘Mr. Armour,” said he, *“do you know Mr—" giving the old Philadelphian’s name, “1 was bound out to that man,” said the packer, like a flash. ‘I asked him for my release and he gave it to me, E'h'nn 1 started for California, Where is o Then the circumstance of the meeting in Philadelphia were given. Armour took the old man’s address. Some months lator the Chicagoan was in the east again, The soap-peddler turned up. *Do you know,” he said, ‘‘that Philip D. Armour sent me $500 not long agol” Before the two parted he added: “I am real poor, but I don't like to accept charity. Don't you suppose Mr. Armour, somewlkere in his great estab- lishment, could give me a place where I might earn my living! Ask him for me?” *That old man will never want so long as I know his address,” said Arnour when this message was delivered to him, “but I wouldn’t have him in my office if he would work for nothing. 1 d'nn't want played-eut men around me.” The Armour boys were born on a farm in northern New York, not far from Watertown. Perry H. Smith was raised on a farm in the neighborhood ot their homestead. The best country tavern for many miles dtound was kept by Perry Smith's father. Everybody in the locali- ty knew the Armours, not because they were rich or influential, but because the boys had all of them such strapping broad shoulders, and looked all of them as much alike as peasin a pod, Philip Armour was going to the country academy. A gentleman now at Evanston was the prin- cipal. The boy played hookey one after- noon, and, with the prettiest girl in the academy, took a ride with a barrowed 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 he could get re- leased from his indenture he would start for California. Armour's experience in California was not different from that of thousands of others who caught the gold feverat about the same time. The hardships of cross- ing the plains were great. He fell sick and narrowly escaped dying, But he got to the gold-fields, and dug with better success than the majority; besides he had been taught by his mother to save. After digging and saving, and trading and laying away, he started back east and never stopped until he got to Milwaukee. There for some years he did a grain- receiving and warchouse business. From the day he reached California to a day somewhere along in the sixties, where he entered into partnership with Mr. Plank- answered inton, in Milwaukee, he had made money with amazing rapidity, He 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 he bought out the interest of Mr. Layton in the firm of Layton & 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 New York wore the headquarters for the grest pork kings. The firm of Plankinton, Armour & Co. were known as 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 40 a barrel. Armour says he dreamed one night that there was to be a great break in it. It set him thinking, On the way to his office he stopped at Mr, Plank- Inton's house, ‘“‘Pork's too high,” said the junior partner. **1 think-so, too,” answered the senior; “‘take the train this morning for New York, and sell what you can.” “1 can't get through,” replied Ar- mour, “‘Never mind,” said Plankinton, ‘‘get as far as you can,” Armour got to New York, went “short” of pork at $40 and never took it in until 1t was selling at 818. This was his great strike. It made him casily a mifllunnirc; but the New York experi- ence, he has said; was the most terrible he ever had in his life-—worse than a trip across the plains ten times over. There was 1o Armour house at Gotham in those days, The business was done through Messrs, Wallace & Wicks, a great firm which ranked as Dows & Co., does now. All the big packers in the country, with a very few exceptions, were “‘bulls” on provisions, Sid Kent reached Now York aboutthe time Phil Armour did and was a *‘bear” too. But the Cleveland packers, the Indianapolis, Cincinnati, St. Louis and New York manufacturers were buy- ers. Messrs, Wallace & Wicks did busi ness for all, were besides bullish them- selves, and loaded up with product upon which advauces had been made. There were conferences each night at the Kifth issued, dinners given, heaven andl earth moved to get young Armour and Kent into the great provision pot. Armofr would mot go near the meetings, and would have nothing to do with the pool He insisted on selling, but found it no easy thing to do. He ordered his agents to sell a large lot of pork. They asked him if he had it to sell. It was none of their business, ho said. If they wanted margine_lot them namo the sum. Seeling ‘“‘short” was, they declared, wicked busir They'd nover done it and didn't approve of it. They tried to persuade Armour that he was wrong, but would give no de. cisive rofusal. Stepping across the streot to a well known broker’s oftice, he gave an order to sell 10,000 barreis, simply announcing his name. *‘Before I knew that the order had be " said Mr, Armour, not long ago, in describing this experionce, ‘‘the sales were reported. 1 asked the broker what margin ho wanted. Heo said that he would arrangeit in the morning.” This was the first of his short selling, He continued it to the torror of the whole provision market for threo months, From morning until night, day in and day out, for ninety days he haunted the office of his agents. Custo mers whom they would refuse to sell to, he would intercept and accommodate. The old Presbyterians who formed the concern, and who wore so vitally intor- n point says it is all cash, and that the firm is worth £20,000,000. Half of it belo ugs to Philip D. Armour. Hois & partisan, strong, active, vigil ant as a friond, but relentlosss, untiring and unforgotful as an enemy. Ho is the only produce specuiator in this market with a following. There was never a Hutchinson crowd or a Kent party. There has always been an Armour party. [t has always been small, but a most dangerous combination to fall foul of, Ho is charitgble-—unquestionably the largest giver in Chicago. His charity is proverbial. He has never founded a library or a picture gallery, and_never will, The stockyard workman who goes to the rich packer with his troubles never goes away ompty-handed. Some really gonerous givers follow their gifts. Ar. mour's donations are placed without qualification at the disposal of the appli- cant. Some years ago a Chicago miinster applied to the packer for aid for a young woman who was in distress in_this city. A liberal sum was put at the disposal of the man of God. After some little delay the money was returned with an explana- tion that the young lady had refused sat- isfactorily to answer some questions. She could not tell, it was said, why she was was away from her home. The minister pressed hior to make & confossion. She declared she had mnothing to confoss, From that day to this the packer and the ested on the “‘bull” side of pork, prayed for his removal. The Cleveland, In- dianapolis, Cincinnati and Now York pool celebrated his departure, Pork had tumbled about 6 a barrel since his selling began. When the Mil. waukean was about to leave for home, Kingon, a great operator of that day, said he wanted to make just ono trade more. “‘I'll sell you 1,000 barrels of pork.” “Ill take 1t,” replied Kingon; Hyou'll want it back when pork is $60. “I'll deliyer you that pork,” said Ar- mour, ‘‘when the price 1s $18.” He did. The packers with a few exceptions from one end of the country to the other were ruined by the tumble. Armour and ‘his partner became the greatest provision men in the world. ToWallace & Wicks, man of God have never spoken. Mrs, Armour, & vory swoet lady, carried out the mission the minister abandoned. The girl waa tonderly cared for until the day of hor death, which ocourred very shortly after the incident happened. ——— A Leap Year Proposal. T am not versed in making love, Although the leap year gives me right, And_though to me you're far above All othors, what can I indite? 1 1ovo you with such love as fain Would keep you from whatover harma, And offer you-1s 1t in vain? That love, with wealth and all ita charma, Maybo it seoms small thing to you, ‘o ask what may with joy bo rifo; But loving fondly as T do, who had treated him 8o shabbily, he de- clared ““I'll drive you out of business.” He did. Messrs, gl. 0. Armour & Co. were soon after established and an office taken next door to the Armour's former representative. Within a very fow years the sign of Messrs. Wallace & Wicks came down, Only the old traders now remember them. The millionaire packer admits that this wonderfully successful operation, just be- foro the close of the war, wasa huge gam- ble. 1f Grant and Sherman had not suc- ceeded, or if their success had been de- layed and the war continued a year longer, the bet might have been lost i stead of won. Armour hazarded an im- mense stake upon tho success of a couple of generals. It was the last risk of the kind, however, he claims, he ever took. The vast sales of 1864 were staked upon ovents over which he had not the slight- est control, about which he 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 New York state. Phil Armour was one of the few ‘“tenderfeet’ who w<s not imposed upon and robbed in the Jalifornia gold- fields. He has been all his life as com- bative in business as in the other walks of life. “The defence of his cellars” cost him in 1878 a clean million, but thy loss did not make him abandon it. He redoubled it. Finally his opponents were glad to be let off after paying §4,000,000 tribute. The wheat deal was not begun in defence of ‘‘the cellars,” but to save a }mrtnsr and friend. Plankinton and Kershaw were inextricably in the meshes of that speculation before Armour knew a thing about it. He abandoned a con- templated trip to Europe, and assumed the gurdon and the onus of it simply to protect an old friend. “‘There are,” said a gentleman ac- T only ask—to bo your wife, 1 | — STATE JOTTINGS, LINCOLN, The_tailor shop of Mr. De Bruner was robbed of §75 worth of goods, the other night.

Eighty of theso are employed day in and day out making out bills, There is not a city in south where there is not an agent of Phil Armour—not a market of conse- quence in Europe where there are not others. Every morning messages aro 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 & Co's mail ag- gregates each day 1,000 letters in and 1,0000ut, Every twenty-four hours requi- sitions are made upon the dilferent 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 beef to and fro. The men wemen and children supported by the great packer would make a city of 50,000 inhabitants, for thero are on the pay rolls at Chicago, Milwaukee and Kansas City not less than 10,000 men.” At a little before 7 o'clock each morn- ing, as the last of the printers are getting home, and before the day-watch has changed places with the night-watch at the telegraph office, & carriage drives rapidly along Washington street and stops in front of the packer's oilice, Ar- mour himself steps out, enters his office and begins his work, One man has pre- ceded him and opened his cables, The rest of the oflice does not arrive for an hour, Armour is_ waked at b o'clock, breakfasts at 6 and is invariably at his officoat 7 s, m. He leaves at G p. m, The eleven hours intervening are crowded with work, ‘Do you suppose,” asked the writer of a gentleman 1n a position to know, “that Phil Armour is conversant with the details of his vast establishments?” “I know he is,” was the answer. ““There is not & department he could not, in an emergency, take charge of and manage better than any man in his em- ploy.
