sons who, their demeanor indicates,
are from the effeminate east or the
sunny southern states. Tacoma can

lished. Many of them are wideawake
and have money to invest in property
and homes. Others may go into bust
ness.
The Searchlight, although expired,
and The Enterprise were instrument
tai in spreading the story of the cities
of the Northwest. The Tacoma edi-
tor received a letter recently from a
childhood playmate who is way down
in Mississippi, who, by some means,
got hold of copy of The Enterprise
and wants to know about the land of
freedom.
Today we received an inquiry from
Saskatchewan, Canada, bearing evil
dences of The Enterprises field of
endeavor. We, here in Tacoma, can
encourage those we meet and not
be so stiff with newcomers. There
are others back home whom these
may induce to come.

delicatessen at stall No. 81 in the

coma. We hope that every man who
eats down town, will stop in and see
Mrs. Shepard at the public market,

that Tacoma will support a Tacoma
colored business. We will, won't we
folks? Mrs. Shepard is our own
daughter and we welcome her back
home. Let's say it with purchases
