Negro pressmen on presses owned,
controlled and operated by a Negro in

hoped here that this progressive move
ment upon your part will receive at
the hands and hearts of a generous
publ. all the honor and praise it just

shall come from your efforts be even
more lasting and satisfactory than
either you or your most sanguine
friends and supporters had hoped for
or entertained regarding it, and may
it affect for good the manifold inter

immediate neighborhood, but serve as
an uplift to the race generally. Il
