We often hear members of our
race in Tacoma say they will never
again join a Negro corporation be-
cause they always fail. This is the
wrong viewpoint my friends. All
corporations as rule have their
troubles, besides corporation is no
greater than it's directors and it is
just as honest as its officials. The
first thing to be considered is placing
honest, efficient and intelligent off
Gals at the head of the organization.
However, one of the things noticed
about our group of people, we ex-
pect too much from the amount of
money we subscribe. We expect to
reap one dollar for every ten cents
put into a corporation. In other
words we expect too much. Often
we subscribe just enough money to
employ lawyer to get out the in
corporation papers and then expect
the thing to grow like mushroom.
II can't be done. To make corpora
ton go there must be something do
ing all the time.
