PRESENTS FOR EVERYBODY!
NEGRO BOOKS AND PICTURES.
Works of Art and Poetry by coIored
Artists.

In strictly Negro gifts made by Ne
groes and sold by Negroes and bought
from Negroes, we lead in Greater Kan
sas City. How this should increase
the pleasure of Christmas giving to
the colored person to know that what
is bought comes from colored labor
and by colored people. What is more
by a colored author, a beautiful pic
ture by a colored artist, or ven a
poem by a colored poet? We are
bound to admit that We would have
''color" if nothing else. Happily there
is one place in twon where these
things can be bought-the League En-
terprise, disseminators of Negro art
and literature-offers values in this
line that are really attractive. Some
of the best ones are as follows:
"a Joyful Welcome Into Heaven
this week only $1.4S; "A Mothers
Love-" $2.75; "~UnfoTgotten Heroes"
$3.50; Eight Negro Men of Mark"
95c. (This splendid picture contains
the likenesses of Washington, Du-
Bots, Dunbar, Taylor, Tanner, Dumas,
Douglas and noble Attacks. This pic
ture with or without frame). That
cute picture, "a Busy Day." 20 cents;
Booker T. Washington photograph, 25
cents. Some Of our books: Kelly
Miller's Race Adjustment" $1.9S;
"Out of the House of Bondage" $3.50;
