LIFE
HISTORY
OF
CLIFF
THOMPSON
WORLD'S
BIGGEST GIANT
Dear Friend:
This life history of "THE WORLD'S
TALLEST MAN" will answer most of the
questions that would interest you in
regard to my life as "THE WORLD'S
BIGGEST LIVING GIANT MAN," a
distinction which has created a big
furor wherever I have traveled and
been seen.
My life history as "THE TALLEST MAN
WHO WALKS THE FACE OF THE EARTH
TODAY" begins with my birth 45
years ago on a homestead in Silva,
North Dakota, of normal sized
parents.
I have two sisters also average
size. I am the only tall person in
my family and can account for my
enormous size only by telling you
that I am a descendent of the old
Norwegian Vikings amongst whom there
were many giant men.
At birth I weighed twelve pounds.
At 16 years of age I measured six
feet six inches in height and had
already reached a height above that
of my father who measures five feet
ten inches and my mother who
measures five feet nine inches. I
kept on growing until I was
twenty-seven years of age at which
time I attained the extraordinary
height of eight feet seven inches.
At the present time I am forty five
years of age and weigh four hundred
sixty pounds.
I am a graduate of Central Wisconsin
Teachers College and am qualified to
be a high school principle in the
state of Wisconsin. I am a graduate
of Marquette University Law school,
Milwaukee, Wisconsin with an LLB
degree and am qualified to practice
law in the state of Wisconsin and in
the state of Oregon.
I have traveled for many years as
the GIANT with the largest indoor
and outdoor circuses and have
appeared in vaudeville, motion
pictures and on the radio. I am
married and live in my own home
equipped with special made furniture
in Portland, Oregon. I travel in my
own special built auto and when away
from home use a room with two beds.
I wear a size 22 shoe, size 9 hat,
size 19 1/2 collar and of course all
my clothes have to be specially made
to get them big enough.. I wear a
ring on my finger so large you can
easily pass a silver half dollar
through it. Try passing a nickel or
dime through your finger ring.
Any other questions will be gladly
answered and thanks to everyone for
your kind interest.
Sincerely,
Cliff Thompson
