Rensselaer Semi-Weekly Republican, Volume 41, Number 118, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 5 November 1909 — B. J. Moore Gives Up Overall Factory Project. [ARTICLE]

B. J. Moore Gives Up Overall Factory Project.

After visiting Crown Point B. J. Moore decided not to further investigate the overall and shirt factory business. Neither the factories at Brook or Crown Point looked very prosperous and Mr. Moore thought that the project was not favored by members of the Commercial Club. There was, however, a reason of still greater weight. Mr. Moore has been associated with C. p. Sternberg & Sons for the past five years, and they are unwilling to see him engage in any business that would separate him from the firm, and they have practically prevailed upon him to continue in their service. This will probably mean the eventual removal of Mr. Moore and his large and excellent family from Rensselaer, which will be regretted by all who are acquainted with them. Monday Mr. Moore and E. G. Sternberg were in Indianapolis looking over a dredging job that is in contemplation and upon which the prospective petitioners wanted expert opinion as to whether it could be accomplished and the probable cost. It is probable the cost would be something like $400,000.
