BURRELL CLARK

Mr.. Burrell Clark. proprietor of
Clark's Tailor Shop, located at
812 E. Monroe St., is another
young man who has come to our
city but recently, and is making a
record worthy of note aud emula-
ton.
About four years ago Mr.. Clark
embarked into the present busi-
ness and has stuck to the job,
building up crditable, paying
enterprise which gives employ
ment to several persons. His sue
cess is due to two things, mainly:
Efficiency and the careful attention
to business. When you take work
to his place you can be assured
that it will be done well and
promptly delivered.
Young men of this type should
be encouraged by your patronage.
When you patronize these enter
prises you help yourself, because
these men are giving employment
to our young men and women.

RESIDENCE OF A. MORRIS WILLIAMS

in the plat known as Hawthorn
Hill, at a cost of $4,000, by far
the prettiest Colored home in Cent
raj Illinois.
Mr.. Williams started the first
colored insurance Co., in this part
of the state. He started the first
Enterprise Loan & Savings Co.,
and developed that institution into
the Enterprise Bank, the End col
ored bank for Illinois. The bank
did good business for 4 years
during the time of his Official con-
nection but after his resignation
the bank soon collapsed.
Mr.. Williams contemplaces re-
opening the bank this fall.
Mr.. Williams studied law, begi n
ming in 1904 and was admitted to
the bar in 1907 and since practiced
in connection with his other bust
ness.
He has never taken an active
part in politics, but has always
been consistent republican and
supported the republica n candi-
dates.
He has attended nearly all of the
sessions of the Notional Negro Bus
mess League and is known far and
wide over the country as man
who does things successfully.
Immediately following the riot,
in 1908, Mr.. Williams went to the
front, as a lawyer, and secured
for more than 40 victims of the
riot, claims for damages.
He has fine law office with a
large and complete law library,
worth over $1,000.

In presenting to you u list of
the business and professional men
of Springfield, no individual has a
more conspicuous and radiant re-
cord than A. Morris Williams
lawyer, banker, real estate dealer,
and general business promoter.
Mr.. Williams is native of Vir-
ginia, the Old Dominion State, the
State of presidents. He came here
in 1902 and began at the very bot
tom of the ladder of business
and thro his indomitable business
acumen, revolutionized the indus
trial fabric among colored people
here and caused phenomenal pro-
gress in the commercial field of our
people.
As a real estate man Mr.. Will
Jams has probably done more than
any other colored man in this coun-
ty, in the line of erecting buildings
and residences. He is the direct
cause ofmany of our people buying
