$ J, Moore has been aptly described
as the man with the Midas touch. It
would seem as if no enterprise to Which

al prosperity has attended all his un-
dertakings It is this almost incredible
continuity of Success in so many enter-
prises which readers M'r. Moore a figure
of such interest a1:d makes his career a
worthy subject of investigation.
'Phe future industrial organizer was
born in Doddington, a small village in
Northamptonshire. England, in 1850 and •
came to Canada 10 (871, with his mother
and fattier, The faintly settled in Bar-
rie,
arrie; and as everybody had to help,
young Moore was immediately placed at
work ih order to augment the domestic
finances. By the decree of fate it was in
a printing office thathe was apprenticed,
and it is interesting (0 note that it has
been from the printing business that he,
has evolved must of the schemes with
which he has subsequently been associat-
ed. From the much despised post of
printer's devil in the . Barrie Gazette
()face, he rose in a few fears to be local
editor of the psper; The wander-
lust which seems to have attacked most
printers.in those days seized him and he
strayed away as far as Texas, returning
in 1879 to take up his abode in Toronto, ,
where he has since resided.
Having a little capital at his disposal,
he entered into partnership with Themes
Betigoagh and formed the printing
arm of Bengough, Moore & Co. 'After-
wards J. W. Bengough was admitted in.-
to
n:to the business and the firm name was
changed to Bengough, Moore and Ben-
gough. Even at this early date Mr.
Moore was developing those characteris-
tics of foresight and sound business
judgment which are to day so conspicu-
oas 10 his make up. He foresaw in
some degree at least, the evolution of
du department store idea and the neces-
sary systematizing of the retail selling
equipment. He became interested in
the sales book invention of a dry goods
clerk named Carter and formed a small
company t a
o manufacture fromi

his
patent. This was the beginning of a'
series of undertakings in which be has
subsequently become interested and
which have developed into large pro-
portions,
From counter check books he branch-
ed into the manufacture of silverware ;
thea he took upi
the milk supply, be-
coming actively associated with the
City Dairy enterprise In Toronto.
Following this he went into the manu-
facture of specialty boxes and latterly
one of his big undertakings has been
the meltingof noiseless typewriters.
Through these various activities he has -
been brought in touch with the every-
day life of the people, supplying wants
that are common tall
a in o classes of the
community. As President of the
Metropolitan Bauk and Director of the
Imperial Life a( numerous other in-
stitutions, he has 'extended his sphere of
infiaeuce into the world of finance.
When one reckon h
s uo the number of
factories over which Mr. Moore exerts
control -fourteen of them at least em-
ploying from 250 10 0,000 hands each
and then calls at the plain and unpre-
tentious office in the Union Bank build-,
ing in Toronto where the wizard who
has organized it all sits at his desk, it
sets one wondering at the Modern
methods which have made such l; 0011.
