7. Edgar Claude Hasler - Part 4

Edgar Claude Hasler    -   1874 -1946

Continuing from Part 3 :

By the era of the 1920-1930-1940's, Moure was heavily involved with schemes of trying to gain capital, to fund his adventures.
Being of : finding oil / boring for it and inventions/patents started to heavily flow.

His business sense went into full swing, creating businesses and "floating them" or by creating a major shareholder prospectus.
All these types of schemes (suspect that may have been over 20+ schemes) were headed by him or somewhat majorly advised by him - as the Engineer or Geologist.

Many of these schemes ended up with a reply of this nature :

This did not deter Moure at all, he kept on soldiering on besides the multiple objections against his business models.
In respect of this, I am not sure if Moure knew of the reason why he kept getting rejected letters. It made me guess about his selling methods or was he shooting for "pot luck" and hoping he'd get lucky or was he on a sure thing & they just needed refinement?

One financial backer of his projects, apparently realised that things weren't happening. So he took it upon himself and ventured to Moure's house and the other person involved in the scheme. He noted that no-one was at home (at the 2 premises), nothing was happening in the backyards and hadn't happened for a few months. It is where this backer realised, what was going on and I gather he wanted to confront Moure on his "investment". Nothing more was mentioned about this story.

One of the rejection letters that popped up, was the following & that it sort of quelled this clouded judgement of mine.
His projects spilled over to the 1940's, where upon the last few years of his life, he was still ever so active.

His projects landed into Federal Government hands, as he pushed to gain Government assistance.
This was a defining letter in my research and was the Government's reply to his business practices.

It assisted my thoughts of his projects & explained the harsh reality of his projects and motives.

(The red line here, happens throughout these papers and I think it's his markings to suggest and to highlight an incorrect term or phrase (against him), something that he dwelled upon) 

It does not end here, as it spills over to his Patent's.

In the next part I'll explain that.
Whilst I agree what he was doing was such a "go-get-'em" attitude, when confronted with the truth against his ideals, he struggled to appease people, but shrugged it off and tried his luck somewhere else. It shows why he moved a lot. In the early days.
