He worked as a cartoonist and/or caricaturist and/or columnist/reporter for the Wichita Eagle (Wichita, Kansas) from about 1914 to 1916, Pratt Daily Tribune (Pratt, Kansas) for one week in 1920, The Hutchinson Gazette (Hutchinson, Kansas) 1920 known, Los Angeles Express (Los Angeles, California) at least during 1924, The Times (Shreveport, Louisiana) before 1926 known, El Dorado Times (El Dorado, Arkansas) from 1925 to spring 1926 known, Little Rock Daily News (Little Rock, Arkansas) and El Dorado Daily News (El Dorado, Arkansas) together during Spring 1926 known, The Journal Herald (Dayton, Ohio) during the early 1940s (from 1941 to 1945 known), New York Times (New York City, New York) dates unknown, New York Herald-Tribune (New York City, New York) dates unknown, New York World-Telegram (New York City, New York) dates unknown, Kansas City Journal-Post (Kansas City, Missouri) dates unknown, and the New York Daily Investment News (New York City, New York) dates unknown. Hendrix did a lot of traveling and much of his work in cartoons and caricatures were done free-lance for area newspapers in an effort to earn money during his travels. So some work for newspapers does not mean he was necessarily employed by that newspaper. This was especially true during his 1920 bicycle ride across the United States. From September 12, 1946, to 1952, Hendrix was the owner, editor, and illustrator for Caricature (Haile Hendrix, 1945 ? series), a Greenwich Village, New York-based newspaper.
