Synopsis

Desperate to escape the wretched slums of Victorian England, Samuel J. Moore fled to Canada at the age of eleven in search of a better life. Without any formal education or prospects, he found menial work in a small town Ontario printing office. Here, he became THE PRINTER'S DEVIL----- a position that would alter the course of his life----- and change the world in the process. From these formative years in the printing office S.J. Moore would go on to introduce the world to some of the most important and revolutionary inventions in business history. Moore's early success drove him to expand his interests and form a manufacturing empire that would span the globe, making him one of Canada's wealthiest men of the early twentieth century. For all of his success, Moore never forgot the poor boy who crossed the ocean at age eleven. He was on a personal mission---one that few people knew about, and remains largely unknown to this day. He wanted to make the world a better place. For his efforts, S.J. Moore became one of Canada's greatest unknown philanthropists.
