Nicknamed "The King of the Golden River," which is an improvement over the original "Piss Harry," Harry is an enormous, pink, and thin-haired man who dresses in shirtsleeves and constantly smokes a huge cigar to protect him from the odors of his profession. He shifts it from side to side for emphasis as he talks. Harry runs a junk yard/recycling plant. The foundation of his fortune is his providing and processing at a modest fee buckets for collecting human waste products. He finds that there is a market somewhere for anything. Soon he fans out into collecting 27 varieties of rubbish that looks lucrative, including recycled paper. Harry's wife, Effie, cleans up his signage to "H. King—Recycling Nature's Bounty" (pg. 150.)
