Many Of our people will walk severa
squares to purchase peck of bean
at &c from white man rather pay 10'
for them from their own color. Tb,
fact is that the colored merchant cam
afford to sell at such prices when yol
fail to give him your patronage. VIII.
can he..white merchant afford to sci
cheaper than the colored? Because h
has more customers and larger trade
He has his own race and also you
trade. Now, why is it that the Jes
deals with the Jew in preierance {
any other nation the Irish with tn
Irish, and the white man with his owl
J II sople? You say it is race pride.
Now, il tharabe so has the Negro an,
race pridef If he has, he would Ger
tainiy patrOnize his own color. II
would help them to build up trad
that would enable him to sell as rea
snnable as any other man, and thu
the Negro as merchant would be
success. Stick together and patr0niz
your own color.
