        Charley B. Lewis, proprietor of a bakery and lunch room at 194,
West Sixth street, came from
Portsmouth, Ohio, to Cincinnati in the year 1861. His father, Thomas C.
Lewis, now living, owned the
rolling-mills of that place, the only one west of Pittsburgh, in which
mills Charley learned the business 
of machinest. The property is now owned by his brother-in-law, George
Baylis, who is probably one of
the wealthiest men in the State. Mr. Lewis was for three years after
coming to Cincinnati a driver of a
bakery wagon, for which he received one dollar per day. From this he was
promoted to a clerkship, and 
in 1866 he bought out the entire business, since which time he has run it
himself. He also owns the
building at 206.
