Mr.. w. e. Lawrence, a young bus
mess man with headquarters at
Sherman, is doubtless, young man
in class wholly to himself He is
wholesale merchant, and as such,
this is a rarity among Colored young
men. For ten years, Mr.. Lawrence
has done a wholesale business in
three states: Texas, Oklahoma and
Kansas. He has made remarkable
success, it is claimed by those who
speak of his business ability. Mr..
Lawrence started right. starting At
the right place He took business
course at the Tuskegee Institute
where he listened to the financial
and other lectures of DR.. Booker
It. Washington, when it was tod
this enterprising young man to make
the most of life by preparing for
its practical operations in all its
relations. After finishing at Tuske-
gee, Mr.. Lawrence managed 10 save
a few dollars and using them with
economy and prudence, he found his
way into the very heart of commerce.
He entered a field that is not over
crowded by men of his race, and
found room at the top where nothing
succeeds like success. Mr.. Lawrence
buys stock at wholesale. hogs, cattle,
sheep, and live stock Of every kind.
He enjoys the distinction Of having
the best of financial advisors of both
races. His success does not turn
his head, but on the contrary en-
courages HIN to go forward with
greater achievement each year.
II the young Colored man would
deserve success, it is the height OF
wisdom to enter fields Of endeavor,
learn to do by doing. Venture on
the untried grounds where the young
men of other races have made bus
mess success. Opportunities lie at
your door, fortune is now passing,
all that is required is to hail her
and she will do your bidding. We
want more young men like Mr.. Law
