Edson, Moore & Company
Edson, Moore & Co was a dry goods, importing and wholesale store started in 1872 in Detroit, Michigan by James L. Edson, Ransom Gillis, George F. Moore and special partner, Stephen Baldwin. The company was in operation from 1872 through 1974 when assets were sold.
== Establishing the firm ==
The firm began in 1872, when several former employees and partners of ''Allan Sheldon & Company'' (formerly ''Town & Sheldon'') elected to form their own firm under the name ''Edson, Moore & Co''. Those men were James L. Edson, George F. Moore, Ransom Gillis, Charles Buncher and Stephen Baldwin. Both Edson and Moore had been partners in the Allan Sheldon & Company firm. The new firm, ''Edson Moore'', originally occupied the addresses of 190-192 Jefferson Avenue in Detroit. They quickly established themselves as one of the largest dry goods and wholesale businesses in Michigan occupying a larger store front on Jefferson Avenue from 194 through 204 in a building built expressly for their needs.
As a jobbing or wholesale house, they offered dry goods from American mills including flannel, percale, gingham and silk fabrics. They also offered finer articles of clothing from Europe including Irish and Scottish linens, hosiery and gloves from Saxony. In the early history of the firm, sales occurred only in the store itself and the items were packed by employees in the evening, for shipment. By 1887, they employed over 100 clerks and twelve travelling salesmen.〔 In the early part of the 20th century the dry goods business changed, and the majority of business was conducted by travelling salesman. In 1908, for example, ''Edson Moore'' employed over 50 travelling salesmen covering sales in Michigan, Ohio, Indiana and Wisconsin.
