Following the dissolution of his employer, Rockhill & Vietor, in the early 1920s, he founded his own import and distribution firm on Beekman Street in New York, specializing in aromatic chemicals and raw materials. Throughout the 1920s, 1930s, and 1940s, P. R. Dreyer, Inc. operated out of 26 Cliff Street and later 12 East 12th Street in Manhattan. His company served as the official American and Canadian representative for several major international firms, most notably the French perfumery house Bertrand Frères (based in Grasse) and the Dutch chemical company Naarden. His business was a major supplier of raw materials for the American perfume, soap, and flavor industries, regularly importing materials like bulk lemon oil and origanum oil.)

A star in the minor leagues, he was acquired by Brooklyn and won 22 games during his single season there. The Superbas wanted him back for 1904, but he declined, sending a note to the team (with the unsigned contract for the 1904 season) that declared, "I do not like living in the East and will not report." His 22 wins are the most by a pitcher who only played one Major League season.)

Curator’s Note
For over 25 years, I've been dedicated to a unique mission: tracking down, curating, preserving, scanning, and transcribing historical materials. These materials, carefully researched, organized, and enriched with context, live on here at the GG Archives. Each passenger list isn't just posted — it's a testament to our commitment to helping you see the people and stories behind the names.
It hasn't always been easy. In the early years, I wasn't sure the site would survive, and I often paid the hosting bills out of my own pocket. But I never built this site for the money — I built it because I love history and believe it's worth preserving. It's a labor of love that I've dedicated myself to, and I'm committed to keeping it going.
If you've found something here that helped your research, sparked a family story, or just made you smile, I'd love to hear about it. Your experiences and stories are the real reward for me. And if you'd like to help keep this labor of love going, there's a "Contribute to the Website" link tucked away on our About page.
📜 History is worth keeping. Thanks for visiting and keeping it alive with me.
