to stay; He went down to the Nation
al Negro Doll Company and put in
an order for Santa Claus to bring
his girls some Negro dolls. Every
Negro should have a Negro doll In
his home. This is a Negro enter

not buy Negro dolls for your girls
and teach them race pride? Just
think how nice a Negro doll will
look in your little girls arms. Now

and a happy New Year. May God
bless the effort that you are putting
forth for the elevation Of u race,
