GEORGE W. MOORE, Democrat.

Mr. Moore, whose residence is at 1806 Eutaw Place, Balti-
more, was born November ii, 1842, in Somerset County, and
was educated in the county schools.

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 a 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 be-
come a candidate for the Legislature, believing that his knowl-
edge of the need of better legislation for the preservation of
the oyster supply of the State and his intimate acquaintance
with the present conditions and proper remedy needed over-
came any desire for personal comfort. Among his acquaint-
ances, both business and social, he is often called "the oyster-
man" from his intimate knowledge of the subject.
