ONCE POOR NEWSBOY,
HE'S NOW WELL-TO-D0
Known for Years on Lack

Martin L. Drewes, a n~ewsdealer, of
8 Hollywood place, East Orange, who
has risen from a poor newsboy, earn

with three houses, is undertaking the
rather unique task of raising a fine

His f1rst-floor tenants experienced the
novelty OF being gradually lifted from
a ground floor position until, as The
days progressed, they were finally ele-
waited so as to occupy their present
exalted location with only ladders to
assist them to and from the ground.
Mr.. Drewes, who is still a young
man., will build two stores under the
building, one of which he will occupy
himself.
The East Orange newsman's career
has been an interesting one. 1t was
fifteen years ago that he began work
ing as a train newsboy for the Unto
News Company. Hunchbacked and
with a shrill, piping voice that amused
the Lackawanna passengers, the little
Fellow was physically handicapped. 1t
wasn't long, however, before his genial
manner won him many friends, and in
a comparatively short time he was the
best newsboy on the railroad.
Then he vas promoted to the high
position of station agent at the Grove
street station in East Orange by the
Union News Company, and he was able
to save some money. This he invested
conservatively. but shrewdly, and the
investments panned out well, so that
he became Independent of the big COM
pany and started in the livery bust
ness. From that he went back to his
favorite occupation of selling news
papers ind such things, and today he
is regarded as being moderately we'll
TODD, although but about rs years old.
He has a good word for THE EVE
MING STAR. The East Orange folks
seem to be taking to both morning and
evening editions like ducks to the water
and the Orange edition has made a
real hit, he says.
