MORAN BROS. HAVE
SOLD THEIR PLANT
WELL KNOWN SHIPBUILDERS TO
RETIRE FROM BUSINESS
Principal Purchasers Are Seattle and
Philadelphia Capitalists - Large
Quantities of Lumber and Other
Material Shipped to Newhan

CONE weeks ago a report was
~ published in the Seattle Star
that Moran Bros. had sold their ship
building plant and waterfront prop
erty in Seattle for a large sum and
would retire to Orcas island. The
report was emphatically denied by
Robert Moran, president of the COM
pany, and the statement was made
that no negotiations for the sac of
the property we're pending. The
Post-Intelligencer of last Saturday,
however, announces that control
ling interest in the business and hold
ings of the company has been sold and
signed statement from Robert Mo
ran confirms the announcement. The
purchasers are eastern capitalists
largely interested in steamship lines
and in shipbuilding. No announce
ment Of the plans of the Morans has
been made and the terms of the sale
have not been made public. An un-
confirmed report states that the con-
sideration is understood to be be-
tween 81, 500, 900 and So, 500, 900. The
business was founded by Robert and
William Moran in 1882, the capitol
invested at the time being only 81 400.
A large amount of lumber and 9th
er material has already been brought
from Seattle to Newhal and there is
much more to come, if unauthorized
reports may be credited. WHAT'S to
be done with it all, no one but the
Morans themselves know and "they
won't tell" It is understood that a
fine residence is to be erected by
Robert Moran and the report that a
plant for the manufacture of motor
boats is to be established is generally
credited.
