The Packers, The Private Car Lines And The People is a book by Jonathan Ogden Armour that delves into the history of the American meatpacking industry and its impact on the transportation sector. The book explores the role of the Packers, the major meatpacking companies of the time, in the development of private car lines, which were specialized rail cars used for the transportation of perishable goods. Armour provides a detailed account of the rise of private car lines and their impact on the meatpacking industry, as well as the broader American economy. He also examines the social and economic implications of the industry's growth, including the impact on workers, consumers, and the environment. The book is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of American industry and transportation, as well as the social and economic forces that have shaped the country over time. It provides a fascinating look at the meatpacking industry and its impact on American society, and is sure to be of interest to historians, economists, and anyone interested in the history of American business.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
