Crosby: this school la'ter merged
with Livingstone college,
Mr. Orye in all his life has
never had but one Job and he
has been at it since 16916. Tlr.
Drye came to Chalrlotte in ISO'5,
a green country boy, knowing
but two people. Rev. and Mrs
Phifer and through -their effj*ts
and a frieiid of theirs, Robert
Means, secured the position lie
noM' holds. There were three
other m«n in the store when Mr.
Drye began his worlc but they
have all since pelssed on. Thoui^h
new men have come into the co.
nothing but the finest relation
ship has existed between he and
them. He is, and always has
been, treiAted with the utmost
courtesy by all his fell'ow work
ers, and had it been your p»’ivi-
Jedge to talk with the men in the
store about him as was mine y"u
would have swelled with admiva-
tion over the rela>tionship that
exiat between him ond others of
the store. Mr. Drye has a great
human interest; he is a Deacon
in the Seventh Street Prasbyte-
rian church. He was also pr^si.
dent of the Progress and Invest
ment ReSIty Company. Through
his years of experience Mr. Urye
has arrived at certain requiilties
of life and these are; perserver-
a n c e, courage, dependability,
courtesy, cleajiliness, amiability,
and Godliness. These things be
lieves Mr. Drye are the stepning
stones to success, no matter how
menial the Job may be. Mr, Drye
has long since been a disciple of
Mr. Booker T. Washing'ton and
in speaking of service he has this
to say: “Talking service and do
ing service are two different
things and it has been my thaory
that no niatter how small the J?b
is, it should always be considered
important” Mr. Drye doesn’t
dream of the old days but thinks
constantly of the present and it
is hiai conviction ttihat some of
the diiadvanta^es the Negro has
had, have only served to streng
then him.
Mr. Drye has friends all along
the Atlantic Coast and is known
throughout the city of Charlotte.
As to politica,! party affiliation
he is non.partisan. Hie endorses
conscription even though he has
two sons that will fair in the age
scale two years after coming to
Charlotte. Mr. Drye purchased af
home on N. Myers Street and
Just three years ago he purchased
another home on Oaklawn Ave,
In addition to his two sons he
has two datughtera and a charm-
