 "The public would do much to avoid the hazards which exist every time fire apparatus passes through the city streets if those who sec grass fires would telephone head quarters rather than send in their call through fire alarm box.

Complete Survey
of Negro Business
For Year 1929

come the obstacles of color In buS1-
ness is the conclusion of the investi
gators who conducted the survey of
Negro business after having exam
ined more than 5000 businesses in
thirty-two cities of fifteen states dur
ing the past eight months. The pre-
liminary report was made here this
week to DIR. Robert R. Motion, Presi-
dent of the National Negro Business
League, under whose auspices the
survey was conducted. "Many of our
business men too often confine them
selves only to the Negro market "a
field necessarily limited by the
wealth and buying power of the
group served" the report reads.
Cases are cited where Negroes
have been able to compete in the
open market against all comers.
"These furnish ample evidence that
given thorough knowledge of their
businesses with fair capital, Negroes
can successfully compete in the open
market regardless of the racial fac
tors. This presents the most fruitful
field for further expansion"
Negro business enterprises, the re-
port reveals, are still predominantly
Individual enterprises. Especially is
this true in the retail field. Too few
partnerships exist and not enough
corporations> There are, however,
many hopeful signs of cooperative
efforts as indicated in the advance
ment of the insurance and indus
trial fields.
There is a definite need for devel-
opment of cooperative buying among
Negro grocers and druggists. The
individual operator, with limited cap
italization, stock, credit and equip
ment, is facing a crisis because of
chain and cut-rate store competition.
This is general throughout the retail
field, and is not peculiar to the Ne
gro small merchant On the other
hand, there are outstanding examples
of splendid and profitable retail
stores operated by individuals.
Problems confronting Negro busi-
ness men as stated by the investiga-
tors Wendell Bolton, Bert M. Rod
dy and J. H. Harmon-include the
following:
1. More adequate financing and
credit facilities for legitimate enter
prises.
2. More direct and profitable in
vestment of surplus funds of Negro
fraternal organizations to the benefit
of the race
