In 1892, the Prophet Spring Water Company was managed by Edward E. Drake who owned Drake's Local Express, located next door at 40 1/2 Dorrence Street, Providence. In 1893, both companies moved down a few doors to 60 Dorrence Street where they remained until 1899 when they moved once more to 156 Washington Street, also in Providence.

In 1901, Drake became proprietor of the spring water company and remained at the Washington location until sometime in 1912 when he moved it to 27 Meader Street, Providence.

Drake sold the company to a William W. MacMillan in 1918. MacMillan ran it until he retired in 1924.
