  Armour and Company - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Armour and Company was an American slaughterhouse and meatpacking company founded in Chicago, Illinois in 1867 by the Armour brothers led by Philip Danforth Armour (1832–1901).
Armour was also notorious for the low pay it offered its line workers, and it actively fought unionisation, banning known union activists and ruthlessly breaking strikes in 1904 and 1921 by employing African Americans and desperate immigrants as strikebreakers.
Armour and Company was sold to Greyhound Corporation in 1970, who moved its headquarters from Chicago to Phoenix, Arizona and eventually renamed itself the Dial Corporation.

Philip Danforth Armour was born in 1833 on the family farm in upstate New York.
Armour and Company owned fourteen acres in the stockyard with rail lines and refrigerated cars bearing the phrase: "We Feed the World." Among Armour's marketing ideas was his suggestion that ministers would preach better "If they included more of Armour's sausages in their diet."
A study in 1911 determined that the average weekly wage at Armour was $9.50, whereas the living wage for a family of five was $15.40.

 03/10/94 RHONE-POULENC RORER INC. AND ARMOUR
Cawthorn testified that at the time Rorer was negotiating to purchase Armour he and others at Rorer were aware of reports in the press that blood products might have transmitted the AIDS virus and had sought and obtained advice from counsel with regard to liabilities for claims alleging damages for transmitting the virus.
As Rhone-Poulenc and Armour have not interjected the advice of counsel as an essential element of a claim in this case, the district court erred in affirming the magistrate judge's decision and in finding they must disclose documents relating to the AIDS-related evaluation that would otherwise be protected from disclosure by the attorney client privilege.
First, it appears the magistrate judge and the district court's decisions to approve the subpoenas were based on their conclusion that Rhone-Poulenc and Armour's privilege to protect the disclosure of confidential attorney client communications had been waived as the insureds' state of mind was in issue in the action.
