Ken Maynard (1895–1973) was one the superstars among the film cowboys. Reportedly, he began his career as a trick rider with the Buffalo Bill Wild West Show and later with Ringling Brothers (some sources deny this). From 1924 on, he worked in Hollywood and made some 20 silent westerns. He was famous for the stunts he could enact with his horse Tarzan. Maynard was the first singing cowboy in the movies.
In this early sound film, he sings the songs Down in Union County, The Old Chisholm Trail and Sal's Got a Wooden Leg. Jack Backstreet at IMDb: "Few stars were ever as disliked within the business but held in such high regard by fans as Ken Maynard. To never have met Maynard was reportedly a blessing. And despite his innumerable personality shortcomings, no other western star of the period had so many opportunities thrown his way. " Maynard had joined Universal during the sound transition period and made eight respectable pictures there. For the 1931-32 production season, the studio, riding high with its homegrown monster craze, opted to ditch westerns altogether and Ken, who studio head Carl Laemmle had quickly grown to dislike, found himself on the wrong side of the studio's gates. During the 1930s, he moved from one studio to another and finally went back to rodeo work. He did a few more low-budget films in the early 1940s, and then retired for good except for bit parts. Married multiple times, Ken's last wife, Bertha died in 1968 and he found himself living largely off meagre Social Security checks. His last years were miserable. He was an alcoholic, who lived alone and in poverty in a trailer. In 1973, Ken Maynard died largely forgotten at the Woodland Hills Motion Picture Home.

This is my new "vacation" house. Built in the late 1930s, the interior measures 25x25 feet (or 7.6x7.6 meters) divided into four rooms. Indoor plumbing and electricity were added in the 1960s. My summer will involve painting the exterior.
My kid's going to flip for this. Madison Mallard's mascot, Maynard. How do you light up a duck on a rainy overcast day? I thought dug-outs had more room, but frankly, we were cramped in there. this is just a set up shot, i jumped in quick, the marketing director actually flipped the shutter. two PW'd flashes left and right, one into the ceiling (just off camera) and one tissue papered.

On Thursday, September 3rd, Lt. Governor Karyn Polito signed Community Compacts with five communities in Middlesex County: Acton, Boxborough, Littleton, Maynard, and Westford. Compacts are an opportunity for cities and towns to choose their own best practices for promoting good local government, and in turn the state provides resources and incentives to help them achieve their goals.

Harry E. Maynard (1889-1957), a native of Smithfield, Virginia, came to Washington to run the lunch counter at the People's Drug Store at 7th and K Streets NW when he was 18 years old. He later opened Maynard's Restaurant and also operated a number of other restaurants and clubs over many years. His name was in the news in the 1920s when several of his establishments were cited for violating the Prohibition law.

The Maynard Outdoor store epitomizes what makes small towns like Maynard such a pleasure to visit. This store changes with the times but not much. It has stayed in one family for two generations, and employee turnover is low, so customers develop relationships with the staff. I think the same guy has been fitting my sneakers for close to 30 years. Although the store added a separate woman’s department years ago, it kept its tin ceilings and linoleum floors. Prices remain fair; quality is still excellent; and the service is always hospitable.
I took my kids here when they were little and outfitted them with jeans, shoes, and outerwear. The selection was not trendy but it was perfect for country living: an entire wall of blue jeans, racks and racks of vests, gloves, wool socks, and camping gear. As one employee said, “It’s kind of like L. L. Bean without the guns and canoes.”
