ADDRESS
Gold Mine
In Freight
The West Indies Freight Ser-j
vice is a gold mine at 345 East
99th St.. Manhattan, and the min
er’s name is Joseph A. Byron.
It has been a gold mine longer
than any existing freight service
owned by Negroes in New York.
But the main vein is still to be
hit by probably a stronger and
younger man.
For Mr. Byron, the founder and
manager of the service is 71. He
has done well, he agreed, and
needs not work anymore. His
children and grandchildren have
been through school and college.
Professor At Oxford
One of them, Joseph W. Byron.
Ph.D., is a professor at Oxford
University, England. And none of
them, fully aware that their dad
did very well running the frelRht
service, would Join him and take
over.
So Mr. Byron would like to sell
the business and retire to the
life of leisure he has earned. He
would teach the buyer the ropes,
he said, show him how to move
ahead.
Tpe Idea had come to him in a
dream, Byron stated, back In Oct.
1947. He even dreamt the name.
He had given up trucking to
work in the Morgan Station post
! office foreign department when
the war came. Now he gave up
the post office and started the
freight service.
Mr. Byron placed emphasis on
his motto: “Punctuality which
should be cultivated by everyone
who wants to succeed In any call
ing, whether lofty or humble.’’
His own success may be seen
from the fact that he began at
177 East 100 St. In a 16 by 20
store. Then after three months
went to 301 East 99th St. where
available space measured 50 by
73.
Finally he moved after eleven
1 years to his present location with
double that space. The service
prepared bills of lading, custom
house and other declarations,
crated and forwarded freight to
all destinations.
In 1947 he began forwarding to
ten West Indian islands. Now the
business has swelled to 58 Carlb-
>ean islands, Britain, Germany,
Italy, the Philippines and several
African countries.
Ski Look in Pajamas
Promised for the Fall
Fall and winter aleepwear will
highlight ski-inspired knit Ideas
via Scandinavian patterns, tur
tlenecks. This fall will also find
a new team fbr sensible com
fort which combines a classic
pajama with a shave or sleep
coat that will appear with long
sleeves.
The Oriental styles will bow
in for fall in more subtle fabrics,
also in a wMer range or prices.
