     DREW P. PRICE, member of the firm of Price & Geary, of Portland, has long 
held a place among the able and successful members of the Portland bar. Mr. 
Price was born in Edgar county, Illinois, September 14, 1874, and is a son of 
James P. and Mary C. (Long) Price. He attended the public schools and 
graduated from an academy at Newberg, after which he pursued his classical 
studies at Pacific College, and following his graduation there, he entered the 
law school of the University of Oregon, from which he was graduated in 1900. 
He was immediately admitted to the bar and engaged in the practice of law at 
Newberg in partnership with his brother, O. L. Price. Soon afterwards he came 
to Portland and became associated with the law firm of Wilson & Neal, from 
whom he went to the Title and Guarantee Trust Company. Later he was associated 
with the firm of Cake & Cake, with whom he remained until January 1, 1909, 
when he opened an office of his own. In 1925 he formed a law partnership with 
Arthur M. Geary, with whom he is still associated.
     On November 11, 1903, Mr. Price was united in marriage to Miss Flora 
Baily, a daughter of J. W. and Frances (Williams) Baily, of Portland, and they 
are the parents of three children, namely: Joe Parker, who is a student in the 
law school of the University of Oregon; Margaret, who also is attending the 
University of Oregon, and Elliott, who is in high school. The republican party 
receives Mr. Price’s support, and he is a member of the Ancient Free and 
Accepted Masons, the Independent Order of Odd Fellows, the Woodmen of the 
World, the Portland Golf Club and the Chamber of Commerce, and also belongs to 
the Multnomah County Bar Association and the Oregon State Bar Association. In 
religion he was reared in the Quaker faith, but is now an active member of the 
Presbyterian church, in which he holds the office of elder. Everything 
pertaining to the welfare and advancement of his community along material, 
civic or moral lines receives his earnest support and all who know him hold 
him in high regard because of his splendid professional record and his 
sterling character.
