Possibly nc man stands higher in
the esteem and regard in which he
is held by those who know him as a
business man, a gentleman and a real
ph~ilanthropist than does DR.. Theodore
Smith, the well known druggist, whose
place of business is 1901 East 18th
street. While DIR. Smith is modest
and u~nassuming in his philanthropy,
yet he is continually doing something
that demonstrates his %largeness of
heart and his deep concern for his
people. He maintained for several
years a free clinic for the deserving
poor. He sends his check to a number
assist them in their work. He sends
kindling and coal to a number of poor
and needy families and neighbors
when it is bitterly cold. He was the
first man to send his check to Allen
chapel in their recent Mems rally. He
is the constant contributor to the Old
Folks and Orphans home. He has
been n of the most loyal and consis-
tent supporters of Negro newspapers.
He is a member of Amos johnson
lodge of Free Masons and stands high
in business and social circles. He is
a member of the Ivanhoe club, the
leading social organization of the city,
and, to epitomize, he is a booster for
all good things and a knocker for all
that's bad. The Sun is proud of the
splendid record made by DR.. Theodore
Smith in the a he has resided in
our community.
