SUCCESSFUL BUSINESS.

For years the Saturday News has
been printing the advertisement of the
Poro College Co. of st. Louis. We
take a pride saying that this excellent
company is one of the greatest enter
prises in the race. The originator of
the famous products of the company,
Madame Malone, is q delightful lady,
whose life and interest aside from
business, is devoted 10 the upbuilding
of her race.
1t is believed that she and her tai
ented husband, Mr.. A. E. Malone, have
done more in teaching the ways of
business, making sacrifice and lending
aid to their people than any other es-
adjustment engaged in a similar bust
ness.
Mr.. and Mrs. Malone are modest
and unassuming people, quietly,
though effectively constructing things
of account. They are essentially race
people and have now under course of
construction in st. Louis a building
that will be a monument to the race
and will cost more than 5000, 900 Fol
lowing their natures they are doing
this work without ostentation but with
very great effect.
The readers of the Saturday News,
who buy the Poro Company's prod
ucts, are not only getting the best,
but are maintaining a purely racial
institution.-Saturday News, Hopkins
