    CLYDE A. GLOUGIE is actively connected with real estate operations and
manufacturing interests in the northwest, making his home at Nampa. The nature
and extent of his activities show him to be a forceful and resourceful man whose
keen sagacity enables him to readily recognize opportunities, while his
initiative is carrying him steadily to a position of leadership in both lines of
business to which he is giving his attention. Mr. Glougie is a native son of
Iowa. He was born in Corning, that state, February 27, 1876, and supplemented
his common school education, obtained at Cedar Falls, by two years' study in the
state normal. In 1891 he obtained a teacher's certificate and for two years
thereafter was superintendent of the schools of Nodaway, Iowa, subsequent to
which time he turned his attention to the live stock business, in which he
engaged at Corning for sixteen years. 

    In 1918 Mr. Glougie arrived in Nampa and purchased four hundred and forty
acres of sugar beet lands where the Carnation condensery is now located. His
brother, C. H. Glougie, was interested with him in this purchase. He soon
afterward became connected with the Coin Controlled Locker Company, Limited, of
which he is the president, with W. C. Dewey as vice president and C. H. Glougie
as treasurer. The lock was patented by S. L. Flower of Nampa and its use will
eliminate straight key locks. By a very simple arrangement the lock is so
constructed that the combination can be changed by the user at will, making it
impossible for a lock picker to open it. It can be used for any purpose where
locks are necessary, from an automobile to safety deposit boxes. When the lock
is used for hotel purposes, the guest upon leaving his room can set the
combination so that no one, neither proprietor nor chambermaid, can enter the
room. The heads of the railroad companies who are acquainted with the lock are
ready to install it in their depot lockers for the benefit of the traveling
public. The baggage locker has an automatic device which tells exactly the
number of times the locker has been opened, and the number of coins which have
been dropped into the locker are registered in plain sight, making it impossible
to beat the machine. Glougie Brothers established a factory under the name of
the Milwaukee Machine & Model Works, Incorporated, at Milwaukee, Oregon, with
Clyde A. Glougie as president of the company and C. H. Glougie, secretary and
treasurer. They expect to have the lock on the market when this goes to issue.
This invention is expected to revolutionize the lock industry of the world. Mr.
Glougie has the confidence of all who are associated with him and the record of
his past business performances is a proof that the word failure has been omitted
from his vocabulary. 

    Glougie Brothers are men of broad business experience and are constantly in
touch with all the big things that are being done in the outside business world.
Clyde A. Glougie has traveled throughout the length and breadth of the United
States and through his knowledge of business conditions in other states he has
been able to take advantage of the opportunities in the way of investments that
have more than justified his judgment in their financial returns. He anticipated
the great cotton production in Arizona and bought land there while others were
thinking about it. The advanced value of his holdings there constitutes a
substantial fortune. He has been a great factor in the upbuilding of Nampa and
was in no small degree instrumental in making Nampa the location of the
Carnation Milk Products Company of Seattle, Washington, for their condensery
plant, which was erected at an expenditure of nearly two hundred and fifty
thousand dollars. The value of this plant to Nampa and the state can scarcely be
overestimated. As mentioned above, the plant is located on land purchased by C.
A. Glougie and his brother. These two established a real estate business in
Nampa which has grown to large proportions. The brothers each own a stock ranch
and are thereon engaged in raising both sheep and cattle. 

    In 1901 Clyde A. Glougie was married to Miss Dora Miller, of Corning, Iowa.
They have three children: Doris O., who is attending high school; Helen E. and
Gladys, who have been attending St. Margaret's. Mr. Glougie is yet a
comparatively young man, but notable business enterprise and keen sagacity have
carried him into most important relations and the character of his labors has
made his contribution to the development and upbuilding of Nampa a most
important one. There have been no esoteric phases in his career, nothing
sinister and nothing to conceal. His success is the direct outcome of labor and
keen intelligence, with a recognition of the fact that, as a modern philosopher
has expressed it, "Success does not depend upon a map but upon a time-table."
