Charles E. Moore
Charles E. Moore (1894–1953) was an American industrialist who is best known for his contribution to the maritime shipbuilding industry during World War II.
==Early life and career==
Charles E. Moore II, was born in San Bernardino, California, to a Canadian immigrant who established the jewellery firm of Moore & Lewis. At the age of fourteen Moore entered the workforce with only an eighth grade education.
He went to work for the Santa Fe Railroad as a machinist. At age 18, he became a “boomer”, the machinist’s name for a drifter. He travelled all over the U.S. and Mexico until the age of 21, at which time he set his sights on working at a machine tool company. As legend has it, Moore’s ambitions were thwarted by the owner who told him that he didn’t have the education to succeed.〔"Big Dams and other dreams, The Six Companies Story" by Donald E Wolf p98,99,1996, University of Oaklahoma Press, ISBN 0-8061-2853-4〕 “I was horribly insulted” he later said, “but then I calmed down and realized that he was right.” So Moore immediately enrolled in high school as a 6-foot-6-inch, 285-lb freshman and finished four years' work in one.〔"The Iron Men of Hendy" by George F. Gayer, p15〕 He later served as a lieutenant in the Coastal Artillery during World War I.
After the war, Moore again applied to work at the machine tool company. Years later, after working his way up the ranks, Moore bought the company outright in 1927, renaming it: “The Moore Machinery Company”.〔(Moore Machinery )〕
