Cone, Moses H.

    0.06 sec.
Cone, Moses H. (Herman) (1857–1908) merchant, manufacturer; born in Jonesboro, Tenn. He left his father Herman Cone's wholesale grocery in Baltimore in 1891 to form the Cone Export & Commission Company in New York City, a marketer of Southern cloth mill-goods. When the company grew to 40 clients, Herman dissolved his grocery and joined Moses. In 1893 they moved to Greensboro, N.C., where Moses built a denim mill (1895). In 1901 he bought a 3,750-acre estate at Blowing Rock, N.C., and began raising apple trees.
