G. G. Saunders of the Western Nlu-
tual Fire Insurance Co. Of San An
tonic, spoke from the subject of the
Importance of Patronizing Negro
Insurance Companies He spoke
rather briefly though pointedly. He
told of the phenomenal growth of
the Excelsior Mutual Benefit Asso-
citation Of Dallas, and assured the
officers of the Progressive that it
would in time attain a comparative
success. Wichita Falls is yet young
he said, and must grow and educate
itself to Negro businesses. In speak
of his line of insurance. he said he
represented the only fire insurance
company in America today owned,
operated and controlled by Negroes.
The Western Mutual, he said, is not
unlike all other insurance companies.
We expect during the course of hui
man events to meet with legal diff
culties. Those of you holding pol
icies with us, need not become alarm
ed when you learn of such happen
ings, for we will assuredly take care
of all our risks. The next meeting
will be held Sunday, August IA, at
A. M. E. Church. Pre-war prices
is the slogan now. Those who are
dependent upon the patronage of
the public might well compose their
minds to face the issue squarely.
The Colored people are still frac-
ton too high on rent. And the pre-
vailing prices at the "eat shops" are
above normal. This is a competitive
age in which we now live, and we
must prepare to meet competition.
II you sell an article for 25 cents,
l must sell the same article for Is
cents or else expect a noticeable
slump and depression in my bus
mess. If the Colored man doesn't
soon conform big prices to the ex-
listing conditions, the public will be
compelled to demand rectification of
same through legal procedures. Read

and the Street Car"
