History
The company was founded in 1901 at 160 East Lake street in Chicago as the McMaster-Davis Supply Company.[6][7] Starting with $50,000 in investor capital, its founders were T.J. McMaster, a former stationary engineer, and F.C. Davis, who had been a chief engineer in the U.S. Navy.[6][8] In 1904, an attorney with a background in mechanical engineering named Walter S. Carr purchased the company.[9] As early as 1908, the name of the company had been changed from McMaster-Davis to McMaster-Carr.[10][11]
Harry and James Channon, the sons of Henry Channon the founder of the H. Channon company, a large Chicago distributor of maritime and steam engine supplies, later purchased the company.[12]
Catalog
In 1908 the company printed and copyrighted its first catalog, at 506 pages in length.[13][11] It releases its current catalog annually.[14]
