A Clear Record.
The Ayfro-American Investment &

years, and in that time they have the
proud record of having never sold a
piece of property with a faulty title.

ographer and notary public who is
capable Of drawing up legal docu-

bills of sale, contracts. etc.
Our People Need Protection.
F. ]. Weaver, president and general
manager, has the following to say:
Nine years of experience in this line
of work has brought many cases to
my observation where Negroes have
been ill-advised in entering into con-
tracts and mortgages, etc. In the
past six months more than twenty
people who had bought property
through white agents and had been
induced by them to enter into con-
tracts that were utterly impossible
for them to carry out without the as
sistance of an agent that was capa-
BILE of manipulating loans and willing
to go to the front for his clients and
see that loans were renewed, have
! come to me for assistance, after the
white agent who had sold them the
property informed them that he did
not care to handle loans on colored
property and therefore could not re-
new the loans fr them. In most cases
we have helped these people out of
their difficulties, but we would sug-
gest that they come to us before they
enter into such contracts
Employment for Home Buyers.
If a man buys home or rents from
the Afro-American Investment G. EN-
ployment Co., he can rest assured that
he will be kept steadily employed at
good wages.
If a man buys a home from the
Afro-Amercan Investment & Employ
ment Co., he will be taken care of
when it comes times to have his mort
cages renewed or if he wishes to bor-
row money.
No White Agents
can show you as complete list of
real estate for sale to Negroes as the
Afro-American Investment Co., neither
will they give you the protection in
buying or in keeping up your pay
ments after you have bought, or re-
newing your mortgages when they
come due.

NEGRO WOMAN ON sEATTLE's

Mrs. corinnc Carter, Wife Of Baptist
Pastor, First Polcewoman Of Her
Race on Pacific Coast,
Missouri Girl.

Seattle Wash.-The only negro po-
licewoman engaged in rescue and ju-

fact, west of New Orleans-was ap-
pointed last night by Chief of Police
Claude j. Bannicl1 and made possessor
of star No. 430. The new policeman

ment makes her afull-hedged police
officer in every detail except salary,
as she has consented to forego this
item until she has demonstrated her
necessity to the force. New Orleans
has a negro policewoman, and it is
believed Mrs Carter is the second to
be appointed in the United States.
"Ihave been engaged in this work

The Times this morning, land during
that time have handled more than a
score of ceases, paying my own ex
penses. Some of these were mere
truant cases turned over to me by
Judge Frater. ~N
Others were more serious sociolog
ical problems, and one, at least, was
practically a case of slavery in which
a colored girl, IL years old, had been
working since she was a little child
for a white family and had been kept
out of school. She could not write her
own name. l took her away at once
and found her home where she can
attend school after private instruc
ton has carried her along to the point
where she can be in classes with chill
dren near her own age.
There are other serious cases in
Seattle of more or less vital nature
all of which involve considerable de
tective work to prove. Many colored
girls are working in surroundings

vicious. Ny first work will be to gel
them into better surroundings.
