Carey, Charles Henry. "History of Oregon." Vol. 3. Chicago-Portland: Pioneer Historical Pub. Co., 1922. p. 335. FRANK LESLIE McGUIRE Frank Leslie McGuire is the president of the McGuire Investment Company of Portland and a national figure in real estate circles. He was born in 1887, in Portland, and is a son of Hollister D. and Kate (Stuart) McGuire. The father was also a native of Oregon, his birth having occurred in Washington county in 1852, his parents having been among the earliest, of the pioneer settlers in the northwest. Having arrived at years of maturity he wedded Kate Stuart, a native of Arkansas. The grandfather was Francis McGuire, who was born in Virginia and came across the plains with ox team and wagon to Oregon in 1852. From that time to the present the family has taken active part in laying broad and deep the foundation upon which the present progress and prosperity of the state are built. Hollister D. McGuire remained a resident of Oregon throughout his life and was filling the position of fish commissioner of the state when he passed away in 1898. Frank L. McGuire was reared in Portland and here attended the public schools, spending two years as a high school pupil. His textbooks were put aside when he reached the age of nineteen years that he might start out in the business world and he established a grocery store, which he conducted for two years, winning success in that venture. He then sold his store, bought sheep and engaged in sheep raising for about a year. In the spring of 1918 he established a real estate business in Portland and has since been active along that line. He is a man of notable enterprise and prescience in business affairs, his keen discrimination and sound judgment being constantly manifest in his management of his real estate interests. Something of the volume of his business is indicated in the fact that the company of which he is the head sold one thousand two hundred and fifty-seven homes in Portland in 1920, establishing a national record. In July, 1918, in San Francisco, Mr. McGuire was united in marriage to Miss Hazel Allen. They attend the Presbyterian church, in which they hold membership, and Mr. McGuire gives his political support to the republican party. He is now one of the directors of the Roosevelt Republican Club and has also held other public office, having served as president of the Portland Realty Board in 1917. Fraternally he is a thirty-second degree Mason and member of the Mystic Shrine and also belongs to the Woodmen of the World and the Benevolent Protective Order of Elks. He has membership relations with the Multnomah Club, the Chamber of Commerce, the Portland Realty Club, the Artisans, the Kiwanis Club, the Ad Club and the One Hundred Per Cent Club. His interests are broad and varied, showing him to be a man of well rounded character. While but thirty-three years of age he has already attained a position which many an older man might well envy and what he has accomplished in real estate circles indicates that his future career will be well worth watching. ******************* Submitted to the Oregon Bios.
