John William Murray, born 1862, in Ann Arbor, Michigan, was known for his company, Coach Work by Murray. In 1913, he formed the J.W. Murray Mfg. Co. and supplied sheet metal parts for the automobile factories in the Detroit area. Murray Manufacturing began manufacturing automobile bodies, stamped fenders, hoods, cowls, and frames. In 1925, C.R. Wilson Body Co., J.W. Murray Mfg. Co., Towson Body Co., and J.C. Widman & Co. would merge, forming the Murray Body Corporation. This historic company produced car bodies for almost every important automotive company in Detroit from 1925 through 1954. The growing demands from customers, such as the Dodge brothers, Ford, Lincoln, Crosley, Willys, Hudson, Hupmobile, King and Studebaker, led Murray to expand his operations. This historic and possibly unique certificate is in Almost Uncirculated condition. Rare. Columbian BNC.
