When Mrs. Cunningham-Snyder first
went out travelling, telling the men Of
the company how to do their work,
some of the employees thought she was
getting her information second hand,
and. wishing to be gracious, one Of
them, possibly misled by her unusual
name, would arise after she finished
her speech and compliment her on
knowing so much about her husbands
work. Then she would have to explain
that she had no husband and it was
her work she was talking about.
Doing Much for America.
She gets fat salary. She is likely
to get still larger one. She probably
is doing more than any other one per.
son In America to improve health con.
ditions and prolong life. Her influence
is growing with each year. She is the
greatest teacher of hygiene in the
country today. She is young, She still
Is In her early thirties. For a woman
who went to New York ten years ago
fettered and handicapped. she has
made remarkable progress. This is
all the more remarkable in the light
of the fact that she is the only men,
/ Der of her family who has had a bust
ness career. Her father is practicing
law in New Orleans today. Four of
her brothers are living; one OF them
is Judge OF the district court in north
ern Louisiana.
When the woman OF gentle breed
ing, whether she be of the North or
OF the South, goes into business, she
seems to develop talents she never was
supposed to possess. A little woman
OF Bowling Green. KY. who began with
a needle. has built up a business that
pays her $4,000 year; a gentlewom.
an OF Albany, N. Y, forced by grim
necessity when she was past fifty, to
make living for herself and her in.
valid sister. has developed business
In New York city that has drawn in
various Standard OIL millionaires who
were eager to SHARE its great profits.
And here this woman of New Or
leans goes to New York and, within q
decade, does work that is likely tc
make her a national figure.
