Kansas Women Run Their Own Businesses in Kansas
Kansas features a growing number of women owning businesses beyond traditional ventures. Aliene Burton, president of Air Capitol Transfer & Storage in Wichita, recalls overcoming a sexist interruption when a caller demanded a male contact. Burton, 55, is among the few women Allied Van Lines agents-owners in the state, with early profits of 30,000 on 250,000 gross. Other examples include a publishing firm in Independence, a contract trucking firm in El Dorado, and a drapery shop in Hutchinson. Industry officials note women-owned businesses remain rare, though increasing, and sometimes sought for government contract subarbeiten. Marta Montedoro of Airports Co. Inc. in Wichita, born in Argentina, sells aircraft parts across continents, earning 100,000 on 2 million in sales last year. She travels most of the year between Wichita and South America.
