Supplemental Information
: The Moore families lived in Rochester for many years. This L. Murray Moore started his small factory with about 20 employees in 1884. I found several Moore ads placed in various periodicals in 1894 but no company history after that.  Their exhibit was located right where their catalog listed in the
Transportation Building
(listing in "The Official Directory" of exhibitors shown and digitally highlighted).
