80 Progress in every depa rtment and de-
tail OF work is noted in the annual re-
port Of the National Benefit associa-
tion, with headquarters in Washington.
The organization had its inception In
the thrift and industry Of Samuel w.
Rutherford. who is rega rded as one OF
the most successful business men Of
our race. The association, which gives
employment to more than 100 men and
women Of the race, was organized
eighteen years ago, with few dollars
and only desk room for an Office.
BY wise business management and
persistent effort on the part OF Mr..
Rutherford and his associates, the or
ganization has steadily grown from
year to year. until its members number
up into the thousa nds and its resources
Unto the hundreds Of thousands. The
concern does business in seven states
and the District of Columbia. Its
achievements have been phenomenal,
and its benefits to the race are mani
fold.
Eighteen years ago Mr.. Rutherford,
general manager and secretary of the
association, was working for a secret
society on a small salary and commits
sion. He is now receiving from his
own business living salary. Is com
fortably fixed and Is his own boss. He
has the confidence OF the public and is
widely known for his fairness to his
patrons and those in his employ. TIL
National Benefit association has pr
out OF commission the traditional thu
Ory that colored people will not, wlie
employed by their own race, give II
good service as they will when emplo!
ed by other races uIyler similar cir
cumstances.
The report further shows that the
total assets Of the association amount
to $273,217.S7. In order to put new
energy into the work and increase It's
resources the concern has adopted u
broader policy for carrying into effect
additional lines Of service and entering
into new territory. Every colOred man
or woman who makes a success In busi-
ness raises the standard Of race pride
and race integrity and worth higher,
gives inspiration to our youth and In
creases the respect and good will Z r
our people among the other races.

Men whom the spoils of office can

Men who possess opinions and a will;
Men who have honor-men who will
