[edit] The Jingle

I would suggest that someone add the lyrics in a section of the article. Here they are: (couresey of my dad)

"Hot dogs- Armour hot dogs- What kind of kids eat Armour hot dogs?

Fat kids Skinny kids Kids who climb on rocks

Tough kids Sissy kids Even kids with chicken pox

oh hot dogs- Armour hot dogs- The dogs kids love to bite!"

[edit] OR Section Tag

"Armour operated in an environment without labor unions, health inspections or government regulation. Accidents were commonplace. Armour was also notorious for the low pay it offered its line workers, and it actively fought unionization, banning known union activists and ruthlessly breaking strikes in 1904 and 1921 by employing African Americans and desperate immigrants as strikebreakers. It was not fully unionized until the late 1930s when interracial unions became more commonplace."

First sentence appears to presuppose a bias, and the rest of it isn't cited. - MSTCrow 23:11, 5 July 2007 (UTC)

I just dropped by this article and did a search. You can find supporting evidence for everything except the first sentence here: East St. Louis, Illinois: "Hog Capital of the Nation". It might need rewording and I have to log now. Hopefully I can log on later and work on shaping it up a bit. If someone else gets to it first then all the better.
