CHARLES A. CLARK.

    Charles A. Clark, president of the Cocks-Clark Engraving Company,
maintaining the highest standards of work in illustrating, designing and
engraving, has his establishment in the Barclay block in Denver. He is a native
of Chicago, Illinois, born November 27, 1873. His father, Robert Clark, was a
native of England and in boyhood crossed the Atlantic to the new world, becoming
a resident of Illinois, where he first followed the occupation of farming but
afterward took up merchandising in Chicago. He married Sarah Bartee, also a
native of England, and she is yet a resident of Chicago, but Mr. Clark has
departed this life.

    Their son, Charles A. Clark, at the usual age became a pupil in the public
schools of Chicago, passing through consecutive grades to his graduation from
the high school with the class of 1890. He became connected with engraving work
as a representative of the Chicago Daily News, with which he was associated
until his removal to Denver. He became a resident of this city in 1898 and
obtained employment in the line of his chosen profession here. He afterward went
to Pueblo, where he engaged in engraving until 1909, and then returned to
Denver, where he established business under the present firm style of the
Cocks-Clark Engraving Company, doing illustrating, engraving and designing,
together with photo engraving. Their work is the latest word in art of this
character and they employ only those who are most skilled, the excellence of
their product winning them continued increase in their business.

    In 1901 Charles A. Clark was united in marriage to Miss Ethel Mayginnes, of
Missouri, and to them have been born two children: Truman E., who is fourteen
years of age: and C. Allison, who is a lad of twelve years. Both are now in school.

    Mr. Clark belongs to the Masonic fraternity, having membership in Denver
Lodge, No. 5, A. F. & A. M., which is the oldest lodge in Colorado. He is also
identified with Colorado Chapter, No. 29, R. A. M., and Colorado Commandery, No.
1, K. T. He has crossed the sands of the desert with the Nobles of the Mystic
Shrine in El Jebel Temple and he is identified with the Knights of Pythias and
with the Woodmen of the World. He belongs to the Ad Club, also to the Civic and
Commercial Association and to the Lions Club and his religious faith is that of
the Methodist Episcopal church. He finds his chief recreation in reading and is
a thoroughly informed man, broadminded and in touch with all vital questions and
issues that affect the welfare of community, commonwealth or country.
