Another Local Boy Who is Making Good
Paul L. Olesen Represents Oil Well Machinery Concern
Bainbridge News & Republican, Jan. 30, 1936
Paul L. Olesen
Former Resident Now with a Tulsa
Machinery Corporation
Paul L. Olesen, a former Bainbridge boy, is meeting with success in his work with the Consolidated Ashcroft Hancock Company, of Oklahoma, and recently received a very fine promotion when he was appointed special representative covering the oil industry, handling all products of the company in Oklahoma, Texas, Louisiana, Arkansas, New Mexico, Kansas and Missouri. Mr. Olesen will continue to work out of the Tulsa office.
Young Mr. Olesen will be remembered by scores of friends in this village as having lived here with his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Jens Olesen, several years ago. These friends are happy to learn of his success.
He entered the Bainbridge High School in September, 1923, where he continued until his junior year, when he left Bainbridge for a course in business at Pratt Institute, Brooklyn, later entering the employ of the Consolidated Ashcroft Hancock Co., in Oklahoma.
In covering the territory to which he is assigned, considerable distances have to be traveled and most of his trips are covered by planes.
One of these trips had brought him East to New York and Bridgeport, Conn., where offices and factories of the company are located, and after completing his business he left by plane from the Newark Airport on Tuesday afternoon, Jan. 14, with Kansas City as his destination.
Wednesday morning the newspapers reported the crash of the transcontinental America Airlines plane, the "Southerner," with five New York passengers aboard, and the report brought extreme anxiety to his mother and sisters in New York city, as they had not been informed of the name of the plane in which he was to make the trip. However, their fears were allayed when telephone calls to the airport assured them that he had traveled on a T.W.A. plane, which had landed safely in Kansas City.
