Watch the grocery stores on any

who has given credit all of the week,
paid delivery boy, kept wagon or

ice, is passed by the shoppers, who,
having just been paid, have their
pockets full of ready cash to go to
the white chain store because the
sign in the window says the price is a
few cents cheaper. But they must
pay cash (sometimes bus fare two
ways), carry their own goods, and be
half -heartedly served by a disinter-

say, the profits are received by a
white corporation and the Injuries

PATRONIZE YOUR BLACK
NEIcHBOR
BY C. II. Lemons, Durham Branch
National Business League
(For Associated Negro Press
BUSINESS and INDUSTRY

One sees, from time to time, many
plans and predictions concerning the
development of this country for the
next fifty years. Machines are be-
ing invented to cut down the use of
man power. Engineers are being
pressed to increase production. Fac
tories are expanding, million dollar
banks are merging, and the stock
market is breaking all records. With
all of this we wonder if the Negro
is progressing with the times.
We hear many people say that the
Negro race in America has made
more progress in the last half-century
than any other race of people has
ever done. We point with pride to
our banks, real estate firms, profess
sional men, insurance companies, and
the like, but the question of most
vital Importance to us is, What will
they be doing fifty years from to-
day."
Negro farmers, laborers, porters,
maids, and cooks, when speaking of
their children, invariably say that the
children shall have the educational
advantages that they were denied.
But what are these same people doing
to assure themselves that their chill
dren are going to have something to
do when they complete their educa-
ton? Nothingi
These same Negro parents put
their money in white banks, buy in
white stores, and insure themselves
| in white insurance companies, all of
whom have absolutely refused to give
employment, unless it be mental la
Dor, to the educated children of the
Negro worker who has invested his
money with them.
1t is distressing but true fact that
one white insurance company alone
carries more insurance among Ne
groes than all Of the Negro COM
panies combined. And the highest
executive position that Negro may
hold with this company is assistant
head janitor IL their palatial main
office building. But even he cannot
use his own initiative for the head
| janitor is a white man.
Yet, when Negroes buy policy il
this, or any other white insurance
company, they firmly believe that
they are doing their best to prepare
for the welfare of their children
They never think that if they were tc
insure themselves with Negro com
pany land influence their friends tc
do so also that their educated son OF
daughter may be one of those EN-
ployed.
