Team murray bike series#
In 1939, Murray introduced its Pacemaker Series Mercury bicycle at the 1939 New York World's Fair. From 1939 through 1942, Murray made the body parts for the Crosley automobile. Until 1939, Murray manufactured all of its products for branding and sale by other manufacturers, especially Sears, Roebuck & Co. Other products included pedal cars and electric fans. In the mid-1930s, the company began production of bicycles, mostly for the youth market. The company was founded in Cleveland, Ohio, and the Cleveland factory was unionized by the United Auto Workers (UAW) and AFL–CIO.
