MAURICE CLANCY IN
TOWN FOR A VISIT

Mr.. Maurice Clancy has returned 10
Canon City for a little visit after an
absence of number of years He has
found success since he ieft here and
through fortunate investments in oil
be has enough of this worlds goods to
last him for many years to come. Be
sides he holds an excellent position
with the Ohio OIL company that also
pays him good money.
Maurice is a Canon City boy who
has worked himself up purely thru
his own efforts. Many local people
knew him when he had hardly decent
suit of clothes and scarcely any edu-
cation. Perseverance and constant
hard work gained him an education
and now he can buy a hundred suits
of clothes if he wants to-. and he
wouldn't feel il either.
He learned the engineering game
first and when he left here he was
ranked among the best civil engineers
in this part of Colorado. He went to
Nevada. saw an opportunity in the
restaurant business. made some money
and invested il in oil stocks in which
Mrs. Phoebe Hearst mother of vii
liam Randolph Hearst was interested
and more than trebled his savings.
From that he got interested in the
oil production game and despite hav.
ing enough money to take it easy II
he wanted to. he learned the business
from the ground up and now has a
position that takes a skilled and compe
tent man to hold down. His head
quarters are at Basin. Wyoming.
Mr.. Clancy spent some of his early
boyhood days in Florence.
By the way, he is of the opinion
that Florence will be the big oil dis
tributing point of the west in the near
future. Being close to the oil interests
he has learned from reliable authority
of plans that are on foot to make Flor
ence of first importance to all oil pro
ducers as a shipping and refining point
in this western country.
