258 MARYLAND MANUAL.

His business is that of oyster and fruit packing, being the
president of the Moore & Brady Company, the outgrowth of
a business started by him in a small way in 1873, and it is
with much pride that he tells of the way he shipped his first
out-of-town order for canned raw oysters, which was to
shoulder the case in which the cans were packed and carry it
himself to the express office.

Of English-Scotch parentage, the tenacity of purpose of
the one, coupled with the thrift of the other, could not help
but succeed in this country, and it has been abundantly
shown in his successful career.

For two terms he was president of the Canned Goods
Exchange of Baltimore, and for a like number was president
of the National Canned Goods Association of the United
States.

Besides serving as director in national banks, he was vice-
president of the Continental National Bank. Always an
ardent Democrat, he was loath to become a candidate for
office, and only his strong sense of duty prevailed upon him
to become a candidate for the Legislature, believing that his
knowledge of the need of better legislation for the preserva-
tion of the oyster supply of the State and his intimate
acquaintance with the present conditions and proper remedy
needed overcame any desire for personal comfort. Among
his acquaintances, both business and social, he is often called
"the oyster-man" from his intimate knowledge of the subject.
