CHARLES BAYLY.

	Prominent among the representatives of manufacturing interests in 
Denver is Charles Bayly, president of the Bayly-Underhill Manufacturing 
Company. Theirs is the largest concern in the west devoted to the 
manufacture of overalls. They own and occupy a four story and basement 
building, all of which is devoted to the business and in which they 
employ a force of two hundred and fifty operatives who are kept busy 
throughout the entire year in order to keep pace with their fast 
growing trade.

	Mr. Bayly comes to Colorado from Missouri, his birth having 
occurred in St. Louis county on the 27th of November, 1870. His parents 
were Charles and Matilda (Russell) Bayly, both of whom were natives of 
Virginia and in early life removed westward to Missouri, settling in 
St. Louis county. There the father engaged in farming and continued to 
devote his life to agricultural pursuits in that locality until he was 
called to his final rest. His wife was educated in Virginia and they 
were married there. After the death of her husband she came to Denver, 
where she passed away.

	Charles Bayly was the youngest in their family of twelve 
children. He began his education in the schools of St. Charles, 
Missouri, and in early life came to Colorado, after which he continued 
his education at Durango. When his textbooks were put aside he became 
connected with the hardware trade in that city and there remained in 
business for some time. At a later period he managed a hardware store 
at Telluride and also at Ouray, Colorado. He conducted business in 
those places until 1900, when he came to Denver and bought the business 
of the estate of Mr. Underhill and carried on his manufacturing under 
the old firm style. As the years have passed he has constantly 
increased his trade relations and today the house is represented upon 
the road by five salesmen. The business was incorporated in 1901 with 
Charles Bayly as president, William Bayly, of Los Angeles, as vice 
president and W. P. Yetter, as secretary and treasurer. The plant is 
splendidly equipped with the latest improved machinery and time-saving 
devices and the operatives work under excellent conditions, and it is a 
recognized fact that capability and fidelity on the part of the workmen 
will win promotion as opportunity affords. Moreover, the business 
methods of the house have gained for it an unassailable reputation and 
this great enterprise stands today as a monument to the executive force 
and progressiveness of Charles Bayly.

	In Chicago, Illinois, was celebrated the marriage of Mr. Bayly 
and Miss Hester Mooney, a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. William R. Mooney, 
of that city. They have become parents of two sons: Charles E., born in 
Ouray, Colorado, in 1896; and Russell Henry, born in Colorado Springs 
in 1898 and now a student in the University of Colorado. The elder son 
enlisted in an ambulance corps of the French army in 1915 and has since 
been active in service in the great European war. Moreover, he has been 
decorated for bravery in action, receiving the "Croix de Guerre." In 
1916 he enlisted in the artillery branch of the French army and has 
done wonderful service in the cause of democracy. Mr. Bayly has his 
service diploma, received from the French commandant, a badge of honor 
of which he may well be proud.

	Mr. Bayly belongs to the Denver Club, the Denver Athletic Club 
and also the Denver Country Club. In politics he maintains an 
independent course but is not remiss in the duties of citizenship, 
standing loyally at all times in support of those interests which are a 
matter of civic virtue and of civic pride. His business career has been 
marked by steady progress and his record indicates what may be 
accomplished when there is a will to dare and to do.
