blossom out into full fedged lunch room
and delicatessen and being in an apartment
house community there is no reason why
she would not have huge success out OF
the venture. She is already doing fairly
we'll and the New Year ought to bring her
renewed prosperity.
Mrs. G. B. Miller is operating Ladies
Exchange and building up splendid trade
among the women folk in her immediate
neighborhood. It strikes us that she has
the foundation on which to build up gi-
gantic business in the very near future
providing she pushes it and she seems to
be of that turn of mind.
Madam Elizabeth De Neal must be do
ing we'll or she could not continue to oper-
ate so large an establishment as she is.
She is not only doing splendid counter
business, but she is teaching the young
colored girls Of the Northwest the art of
handling hair to the best advantage and
that too, without regard to the color and
complexion of the owner of the hair. In
other words, she handles the colored wo-
man s hair just as successfully as she does
the white woman's
Mrs. l.. A. Graves and her daughter, Mrs.
Zoe Graves Young, are doubtless enjoying
a greater amount of the working mans
busy from morning until night She has a
beautiful and we'll arranged hair dressing
establishment in one of the prominent bank
buildings of the city and is getting the pat

Samuel H. Stone, the caterer, is certainly
prepared to get as much more of the
working mans prosperity wave than any

banquet of thousand with as much grace

is past master in his line
The Southern Express Company, under
the management of Ira F. Norris .Jr. prob
ably does the largest business of any con-
Germ in the city owned by colored persons.
The live immense motor trucks of the COM
pany are busy day in and day out and it's
gross receipts will doubtless run into the
thousands each month";
The Chandler Fuel and Express Company
is one Of the big concerns of it's kind of the
city. and must have it's manager, William
Chandler. at his wits end every hour of the
day to figure out how to handle the rush
of business that has come to his concern
owing to the prosperity wave, and the
past tis nothing to what the Immediate
future promises to be-
Il. II. WOOdsOn, the apartment house king
must be one of the happiest men in the
Northwest, and simply because this pros
perlty wave means money almost in car
load lots for him. and if there is any one
thing in this world that Woodson loves like
unto himself it is money in punches.
Hayden j. Richardson doubtless built bet
ter by great deal than he had planned in
buying the Douglas Apartments At the
time he took it over it was nice invest
