Ray Hugh Garvey THESE ARE ROUGH NOTES FOR RHG’S BIOGRAPHY Born January 3, 1893 on a farm in Phillips County, Kansas, the youngest of three children of Seth Homer Garvey and Nettie Post Garvey (nee Jannetta Jane Post). Died June 30, 1959 at the age of 66 of injuries sustained in an automobile accident on a highway near McPherson, Kansas. Graduated from high school in Phillipsburg, Kansas. Taught school for one year before entering Washburn College in the fall of 1910. Received an A.B. degree in 1914, and an L.L.B. degree from Washburn College in 1915. Upon graduation, he practiced law and served as County Attorney for Thomas County from his offices in Colby, Kansas. He married Olive Hill White of Augusta, Kansas on July 8, 1916, and the couple settled in Colby, Kansas. They had 4 children (Ruth Caroline, Willard White, James Sutherland, and Olivia Rae). “Farming operations in Colby from 1916 to 1928 were followed by far-flung entrepreneurial business operations in farming, grain, elevators, petroleum, construction, and investment corporations.” He was the first farmer in the country? world? to produce a one million bushel wheat crop (1947), and built the world’s largest grain elevator in Wichita. Ray Garvey earned money for college by planting wheat each winter on a rented quarter of land. He bought and ran two paper routes while attending college at Washburn University in Topeka. He left Topeka in 1914 with an AB degree and in 1915 with an LL.B. degree. His life was fueled by an energetic outlook and a natural curiosity. Became a partner in Judge A.A. Kendall's land business in 1918. In order to sell the land and to run it effectively, Garvey went to work himself. He innovated by running large acreages like a business, and asking the farmers to account for every penny of expense. Eventually his farms operated over 100,000

February 1, 2008 Page 3 Kansas Historical Society: Olive White Garvey and Ray Hugh Garvey Papers, 1922-1993 (MC 809) acres, and on them, Garvey harvested a 1,000,000 bushel wheat crop in 1947 - the largest harvest for an individual known in American history. Garvey was known by those who knew him as "a Good Story." He dressed down and drove a Ford to avoid "putting on airs" as well as to show his employees an example of a low cost operation. He was known as a strict but ethical negotiator who always followed through on his deals. Aside from farming, Garvey went into the businesses of fuel, low-costing housing, and grain elevators. He also created Amortibanc, to deal with installment securities, and Petroleum, Inc., to deal with the need to invest income from the farming operation. During the 1930s, Garvey concentrated on real estate acquisition in western Kansas and formed several farming partnership companies. Much of this land was farmed by tenant farmers who paid rent to Garvey. He also owned the Service Oil Company that had several service stations and distribution centers in Western Kansas. Toward the end of the decade, he purchased a number of defunct banks and acquired their remaining assets including real estate and mortgage notes. During World War II, Ray Garvey formed Builders, Inc., and became involved in housing construction and rentals in the Wichita area. After the war, his sons Willard and James became managers of several of his companies. James Garvey took responsibility for the farming operations and Willard Garvey assumed control of Builders, Inc. Ray Garvey continued investing in real estate, this time focusing on eastern Colorado land. In partnerships with John Kriss and H.C. Wear, he acquired vast expanses of virgin ranch and farm land. Garvey expanded into oil exploration and distribution with the formation of Petroleum, Inc. and Drillers, Inc. during the latter half of the 1940s. As the 1950s began, Ray Garvey embarked on his involvement with grain elevator terminals. During the last ten years of his life, Garvey erected elevators in Kansas, Nebraska, and Texas, including the largest single grain elevator in the world located in Wichita, Kansas. The C-G-F Grain Company also had the largest amount of agricultural storage space in the world, and it was in this industry that Ray Garvey received his greatest publicity. Much attention was focused on the amount of money he received in the form of government subsidies by several major newspapers and national magazines. Throughout his career, Ray Garvey was involved in political and national issues. He philosophically and financially supported several political organizations including the Republican party and the America First Committee. He exchanged correspondence with many Governors, members of Congress, Presidents, and other government officials on a regular basis regarding his political concerns about the United States economy, foreign policy, government spending, and taxes. Additionally, Garvey was involved with many civic and academic organizations and contributed frequently to them through the Garvey Foundation.
