w hji e he worked as a brick ma-
son and then became foreman
for several of the leading con¬
of the city.
After working in this capa
city for about five years, h
Jaanched out on his 0V/Ili doing
a genera ] contracting business.
Being un usually efficient anc
blessed with a wealth of expe-
r j en( . e> he succeeded from the
j ump and soon became the bes
known negro contractor in thi.
:ec tion.
In every section of the city
buildings which are mon-
uments to his handiwork. In

About twenty years ago he
entered the tire and filling
