AT THE AGE of 22, Charles C.
"^ Bewley, president of Charles Bewley
Realtors, Inc., is among the outstanding
realtors of Lockport. He is
considered one of the most promising
younger business men In his home
town.
Mr. Bewley was born in Lockport
where he has always resided. He received
his education at the public
schools there, and Rochester Business
Institute of which he is a graduate.
On his return to Lockport he complied
with the desire of his father,
Richard Bewley, that he become a
farmer. But one year on the farm
was enough for the enterprising Mr.
Bewley. He wasn't meant to be a
farmer, and he knew i t So in 1928,
he opened real estate and Insurance
offices. He chose the real estate as
a field for his business activities because
of his complete familiarity with
Lockport and its vicinity and his interest
in the development of the
locality that always has been his
home.
In both his real estate and insurance
business, Mr. Bewley derives
great enjoyment from his contacts
with his customers. Another phase
of his work in which he is intensely
Interested is the remodeling of some-of
Lockport's fine old houses into apartments.
Mr. Bewley also Is secretary and
general manager of the Bewley Holding
Corporation. \b0
Boating and tennis are his favorite
sports. His speedboat is his hobby;
and he finds great exhilaration in
racing on the Niagara River.
The restfulness of a broad expanse
of water combined with the thrilling
speed and sudden turns of the boat
render speedboating irresistibly fascinating,
in Mr. Bewley/s opinion. He
enjoys every aspect of boating even
to repairing the motor. Being endowed
with a natural mechanical
bent, he can make* all necessary repairs.
He sometimes passes hours
tinkering with the engine of his boat;
but if, when he has finished, the
motor Is "ship shape," he considers
the time well spent.
Tennis long has been among his
recreations; for there is a tennis court
at his father's home And Mr. Bewley
literally grew up playing the game.
Before he took up boating, aviation
was his hobby; and he began
a course of instruction in piloting.
At present, his speedboat offers him
thrills enough; but it is probable that
he soon will pilot his own plane.
Hunting and fishing also are among
Mr. Bewley's pastimes. He thoroughly
enjoys the woods, and twice every
year, he goes to the Adirondacks in
quest of bass and deer. Several fine
Eair of antlers attest his skill as a
unter.
Mr. Bewley is a member of the
Olcott Yacht Club. He resides at the
Bewley home on Lakewood avenue,
Lockport.
