moxieboy.jpg (15753 bytes)One of the most frequently asked questions we get is "I love your name, but how did you come up with Moxie? Well we usually begin by telling our clients that the "Moxie" definition matches our business philosophy. The American Heritage Dictionary defines Moxie: (mok'se) n. 1. The ability to face difficulty with spirit, pluck, courage. 2. Experience; skill; shrewdness. 3. Initiative; aggressiveness. Or we tell people that Moxie is a soft drink older than Coca Cola, that is still being made in the North East. We would give samples to clients but it really isn't all that good. Or if they really press us for the truth, we pull out the above picture and tell them that the company was named after an exceptional English short haired pointer that belonged to Walt Crory, one of Moxie's founders. Walt was about four years old in this picture taken in front of the Longwood Cricket Club, in Chestnut Hills, Massachusetts. Walt is 79 today, but the memory of his dog lives on.
