markable Business Career of

lol It's ODJecl lue upilll OF humanity,
in whatever cause and for whatever
purpose, Afro o-American women may
be depended upon to contribute their
quota of moral courage, intellectual
perceptibility and keen business fore
sight. One of the brightest luminaries
in the business life among Afro Amer
leans in Greater New York today is
woman. Miss l. L. Norman, who has
been officially connected with the Met
rOpOlitan Mercantile and Realty com
pany for the past eight years, has
turned her business knowledge and
hard earned experience into plans and
methods and opened up new and un-
tried field of business industry for the
women of our race. She has amicably
severed her relations with the COM
pany referred to, reorganized the Met
tropolitan Women's Business club into
stock company, chartered and incor-
porated under the laws of the state of
New York, and opened offices in fine
suit of rooms in the Garfield build
ing, on Court street, Brooklyn, n Y.
under the firm name of the Norman
Harper company, where a general bust
ness in stocks and bonds and in real
estate will be carried on. The primary
object of the Metropolitan Women's
Business club was to raise sufficient
funds with which to erect an audi
terium where the various secret and
benevolent organizations might hold
their meetings and where the various
social and public functions which are
so numerous among Afro A mericans
could be conducted to better advan-
tage than they can be under present
rental conditions.
The growth of the club has made it
necessary to reorganize with more
composite realization Of the possibili-
ties Of woman's work and achieve
ments. The company has already in
vested some $1,000 In first mortgage
bonds bearing per cent interest. The
feasibility Of the project may be read
ilv seen when 1t is known that Afro
Americans in Brooklyn spenu more
than 100000 per annum in rentals
alone. And also the fact that 81 per
cent Of all the money invested in
Afro American corporations in Greater
New York is by women Of the race
ought to quicken the impulse and spur
the ambition of every person who has
any race pride. Since it is a fact
that women have been the mainstay
and backbone of most of the success.
full business conducted by men of the
race, 1t is no more than reasonable
that they should launch out now for
themselves. Miss Norman is right
when she says that if the men will
not put their money together and
build a creditable hall the women
will raise theirs by their own thrift
and industry and erect an auditorium
Miss Norman is the first and only
woman president Of Il stock company
that we know of in the north and is
