The recent opening OF he South termi
nal railway station IN Boston naturally
attracted attention through the country,
| for the structure is the largest passenger
stati ion in the world. That former Els
worth boy had very important part to
perform in the building of this great sta
tion is gratifying to his many friends.
The irm of James A. Davis q Co. secured
against world wide competition the
| contract for furnishing the cen ent used.
This contract amounted to over 100000.
The cement is known as the Alpha Port
| land cement is manufactured in New
Jersey, and is said to be superior to any
| foreign Portland cement, and at the same
time cheaper. Some of the largest cement
contracts ever made in New England have
been secured by James A. Davis q Co.,
the most notable, perhaps, being the con-
/ tract for the iloyoke DAM which will re-
quire about 5000 barrels. Mr.. Davis
| friends are pleased to note these evidences
of his success in business.
