The Packers, the Private Car Lines and the People

""The Packers, The Private Car Lines And The People"" is a non-fiction book written by Jonathan Ogden Armour that explores the history and impact of private car lines in the United States during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The book focuses on the relationship between the private car lines, which were owned by wealthy individuals and businesses, and the meatpacking industry, which relied heavily on these lines to transport their products across the country. The book delves into the economic and political factors that led to the rise of private car lines, as well as the controversies surrounding their use. Armour examines the impact of private car lines on the meatpacking industry, including the benefits they provided in terms of speed and efficiency, as well as the negative consequences, such as increased costs for small-scale producers and the monopolization of the industry by large corporations. Throughout the book, Armour provides detailed accounts of the key players involved in the private car line industry, including the Packers, the wealthy individuals who owned and operated the lines, and the People, the workers and consumers who were affected by their actions. The book also explores the broader social and political context of the time, including the Progressive Era and the rise of anti-trust movements. Overall, ""The Packers, The Private Car Lines And The People"" offers a comprehensive and insightful look at a little-known aspect of American history, shedding light on the complex relationship between business, politics, and society during a period of rapid industrialization and social change.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
