The broad ax. [volume] (Salt Lake City, Utah) 1895-19??, 1920-12-18

to be said or written about in eonnee-
ton with the celebration of the goth
anniversary Of Poro College and the
opening Of its Annex, that it was ut
terly impossible to complete the story
at one time. Everything in relation to
the whole event reflected undying
credit upon Prof. and Mrs. Aaron E.
Malone, the founder and the President
of Poro College, and upon the raee
which they so ably or fttingly repre-
emit in st. Louis, Mo-, and throughout
the civilized world.
As stated elsewhere in this paper,
that Poro College occupies a frontage
two hundred by two hundred and fifty
feet, that the building is strictly mod
ern in every respect, including an au-
tomato elevator for the use of the
guests, which requires no operator;
there are also ether elevators in each
building; both buildings are heated by
the latest hot water system; two hun
dred persons can easily be seated in
the main dining room at one time, and
with its artistic and enchanting dec
orations it is a wonder to behold.
Aside from the main dining room
Prof. and Mrs. Malone have a grand
private dining room which will seat
fifteen or twenty persons, and in every
respect it is simply a dream with its
fine costly silver plate and with its
heavy carved mahogany furniture and
other rich furnishings, it will more
than favorably compare with the din
ing rooms of the wealthiest white mil
lionaires in this country.
One side of the main building con-
tains the large lobby which is occupied
by both men and women and the men
remove their hats on entering it from
the grand promenade, which reminds
one Of Peacock alley in the Congress
Hotel, and there is no smoking nor
noisy, loud talking in the lobby on the
part Of the men guests, and at no
time does any Of the men help around
the buildings indulge in any coarse or
vulgar language, nor boiler or shout
at each other in a loud voice from one
end Of the building to the other. Next
to the grand promenade comes the ice
cream parlor and confectionery store,
the millinery store, tailor shop and
barber shop. The general Offices are
on the main floor Of the Annex side
of the building and each and every
business day in the year fifteen young
Colored women stenogrsphers are busily
engaged in pounding away on their
typewriters to beat the hand, and with
its three hundred Colored men and
women on its payroll, Prof. and Mrs.
Malone proudly state "that there Is
not one white person employed in POrO
College in any capacity whatsoever,
and that all the toilet articles which
are handled by seventy-fve thousand
agents throughout the United States
and in other parts Of the world are all
thrown together or mixed up by ex-
pert Colcred chemists who thoroughly
understand their business from A to z.
A time moves on and on Professor
and Mira Malone are planning to erect
. large department store On some Of
the vacant ground owned by them; at
the present time about two hundred
feet Of their real estate holdings right
opposite Of Poro, contains buildings
which bring in considerable rent each
month
