The idea of the National Negro Bus

1gent colored men and women in ey-

themselves and thus controlling and
handling part of the money spent
by colored people for the necessities

communities in this broad land of ours
here there are not few opportuni-
ties and openings for colored people to
go into business of some kind Those
who have embarked into the business
and who have conducted their enter
prises on correct business lines have
succeeded. The few failures recorded
are not due so much from lack of
the support OF the race as from lack
of business experience on the part of
those engaged in business or from in
attention to the same.
In cities of large colored population
such as Washington, Baltimore, Phila-
