The T.J. Moss Tie Company records were donated to the Western Historical Manuscript Collection by Mr. Bernard Mabry in April 2002.
Thomas Jefferson Moss was born March 1, 1857. He was orphaned at the age of six and began working when he was ten. He saved his money and went to Central College at Fayette, MO. He took a teaching job in Tennessee for one year and returned to Missouri with six hundred dollars. He began a small business providing railroad ties to road being built in Missouri. In 1879 Moss bought an interest in a mercantile company. His new partners joined him in the tie business and he was able to expand. Three years later he bought out his partners and organized the Moss Tie Co. In 1886 he purchased 40,000 acres of timber land in Stoddard County Missouri. He had seven sawmills cutting railroad ties and bridge timbers and an equal number of general stores operating in various places. He was employing around 3,000 men in all his operations. The great railroad expansion of this period allowed Moss to take a leading role in supplying ties to railroads in the Midwest. He established his headquarters in St. Louis in 1888. Moss was known as “The Tie King”. He built and became president of the Paducah, Tennessee and Alabama Railway, Tennessee Midland Railway, Cape Girardeau Transportation Company and the Mississippi Packet Co. Moss died in August of 1893. In 15 years Moss had built his 600 dollars into over one million. He had left behind the largest tie company in the country.
John Wallace Fristoe took over the reins of the T.J. Moss Tie Company and it was incorporated in September of 1893. By the turn of the Century the cross tie market was over 100,000,000 units per year. In these early days of the tie business, only white oak ties were desirable to the railroads because they would last the longest. The company eventually built and operated three treatment plants for injecting preservative chemical into other woods to make them last longer.
Kerr McGee eventually bought the company and merged it with American Creosoting Corp. to form Moss America.
SCOPE AND CONTENT
The records consist of correspondence, reports and business ledgers. The bulk of the material is from 1919-1923. The interesting thing about the correspondence is that the company saved both sides of all correspondence. This gives a real insight into the way the company did business. How they handled the good times as well as the bad.
