	Philip Danforth Armour Biography / Biography of Philip Danforth Armour Biography
		Philip Armour was born on May 16, 1832, at Stock-bridge, N.Y. His father was a farmer of Scotch-Irish and Puritan origins.
		Armour blazed trails in two ways: his companies owned and operated their own freight cars, forcing special, lower carload rates from the carrier railroads; and he aggressively entered English, German, and French markets, breaking down local resistance to American hog and beef products.
		Armour was attacked because he operated family-owned companies rather than publicly owned ones and because he got his working capital from local (Chicago and Kansas City) banks and his investment capital from the plowing back of profits.
