conversation between two negroes
as they stood admiring the many
things in an deliberately decorated

gazing at the pieces of finneiy for
quite few minutes, when he said,

Party Book Store
Boon to Workers in
New York City

New York, N. Y, Oct. 13.-The need
which every large working class com.
munity and radical center feels for a
book store catering to working class
needs is well filled in New York.
Workers of all shades of radical po.
litical thot are showing their apprecia-
ton of such a book store by an ever
increasing support and patronage.
Since the split in the socialist move
ment in 1919 up to very recently.
there had been no center from which
the workers could obtain the new lit
eratuie which has developed OFT of
the social changes and new view.
points and tendencies evolved in the
past few years. With the establish
ment by the Workers Party OF its
own book store, an ever-growing cir
Gle of workers have found it Mecca
for their reeds.
We refer all who read this to an
advertisement of the book shop in an
other part of this issue of the
WORKER which offers special induce
ments to book lovers. We wish to as
sure those workers who have never
visited the book shop, that they will
meet with pleasant surprise in the
high quality of the books as well as
with the great variety and the gen.
eral neatness and attractiveness Of the
shop. We suggest that after reading
the advertisement referred to, you clip
it out and pay visit to the shop and
take advantage of the offers made
We are sure you will become one of
the STEADY" parons of 1877 University
Place.
