BOOSTERS START
DRIVE FOR Bic.
GER BUSINESS
Cooperation of Public Expected
In Making Campaign Big
Success.
Minute Men Urge Public to spend
Money in an Appeciative
Market.
Big Celebration will Mark the
Closing Night Of Great
Campaign.

AT the Annual Convention of the
National Negro Business League last
August, President Robert r. Motion
urged the necessity OF boosting home
trade in each community where the
Business League has taken root.
The prime reason for this type OF
Trade Boosting Campaign Is to bring
closer relationship and better under
standing of race business men and
customers.
The Trade Boosting spirit has been
prevalent thruout the country as a
result of the realization that mutual
benefits are derived better when clos
er relations prevail.
TIL st. Paul Negro Business League
have earmarked April 80 to May
as Trade Boosting Week. At this
time every effort is being used to
make this the greatest possible oc-
casion.
Cooperation Urged
Again the watchword of the Busi-
ness Is Co-operation-for the
purpose of bringing together the for
ces that will improve the business sit
uation. There are innumerabie bus
inesses In Saint Paul that are not re-
ceiving their proper ratio OF assist
ance from the race buyers, These
Negro business men are suffering
from lack OF support from those who
should lend every possible effort 70
make the situation better. The Trade
Boosting Campaign will assist in
bringing about furtherance of pros
perity.
Minute Men Speak
To assist In achieving the desired
the following men have been selected
to give five minute talks, George w.
Hamilton, Jr., Orlando Smith, Fred
d. McCracken, S. E. Hall, G.. d. How
ard and Roscoe Crump.
These men will speak to audiences
In various centers where Negro busi-
ness can be made better. Every one
Is urged to make an effort to assist In
making this one of the biggest and
best get-to-gether movements ever
started.
Public support Necessary
The public is urged to respond 10
the movement.
The Business League has spared
no efforts to make this the premier
event In the Trading Campaign.
Mr.. Ernest Starks. chairman of the
Business Promotion committee made
the following statement: 1--WE want
the public to patronize this effort and
shall do all we can to make Trade
Boosting Campaign Week an amaz-
ing success. 1t Is our purpose to di-
rect our dollars TO those houses
where the business should be placed
and Is appreciated.
