did mt do it. He just held the young
fellow a minute, and then let him go.

The WOMAN CONTRACTOR.
Mira Cram of Boston Takes Big Orders
for Masonry Work.

Mrs. Cram of Boston Takes Big Oro0rH
for Masonry Work.
Now it is the woman contractor and
Boston is her home, says the New York;
World. In the Athens of America Mrs.
Cram made her entree as a contractor
nine years ago. She has her own otnces
and is thoroughly business-lfke In AL
her dealings. Her husband is also
contractor: Together they have con-
tracted for the foundation work OF ~
number of public buildings in that city.
Among these ara the new public
library, the new court house and the
boulevard bridge over the Boston & AL
bany railroad, which is said to be oneI
of the finest pieces Of masonry in the
United States The entire work on
these contracts was delegated to M
Cram by her husband, who had imp
confidence in her ability. One OF
most notable products OF this
prising woman's skill is sectiQz
OF the Stony Brook improvem'
Boston. This section containe
largest "bell-mouth' in the sewe
ever built in this country. To he
also confided the construction o
foundation of the power-house o.
Edison Electric Light Company OF
ton. About a year ago Mrs. Cram
cided to embark in business for herseN
independent of her husbands co-part
nership. She had, as she so naivel
puts it, "got tired of being seconded
consideration Mrs. Cram conducts
commission business in connection W
her other work, selling machinery az
materials used in excavatiBg and gen
eral masonry work. Mrs. Grams busi=i
ness experience has taught her that'
financial success depends in great part
| upon personal supervision of the work,
in hand. She realizes the opportunity
for petty leaks in the masonry and.
| their serious character where largo
sum is involved So she makes a poinS
of visiting once or twice day thea
seer her operations. She drives s.
smarL to and from her Office. Mrs
Grams st achievement was in SCI
curing the ontract from the Chase
Granite Company of New York to team
10000 tons of stone, to be used in ell
| waiting the tracks of the New YORK;
| New Haven & Hartford railroad. Mrs,
| Cram has under her control the sub
! letting of a patented derrick, invented
| and owned by her husband. These der-
ricks were used in demolishing the old.
! fremont house in Boston, and they ara
employed in constructing the new Boi{
| ton subway. She profitably lets the us
of machinery for all building purposa
or to remove distractions.
No contract of however great mag
tude awes her, and in recent tain
this city before the Professional W.
ans League, on THE Business Wom-
an she told some pertinent truths and
gave advice of such character as t
enable women with commercial in
stincts to profit by her practical experi4
ences. Mrs. Cram dresses simply and
in excellent taste. She wears tailor
made gown for business purposes, but
clings tenaciously to all the little fem
mime frills and furbelows She is a
petite brunette, dark eyes and radiant
complexion. She has a charming per-
sonality, and only her decisive, quick
manner would suggest her astuteness
in affairs financial.
