Accommodating my Readers
y CLIFFORD c. MITCHELL

A reader, in Montgomery, Ala
bama. writes to have me investigate
the proposition as advertised by the
Publix Sales Corporation, $40 Roose-
welt Road, Chicago who have been
running a small classified advertise
ment in a few of the colored papers
in which they minated that they
could place a number of our men and
women in business.
Although | was a week or two late
in getting around to it l finally call
ed on the above firm and through the
courtesy of Mr.. B.. n. Vollen, secre-
tary of the corporation, l was per-
sonally escorted through his entire
plant and fully instructed as to their
mode OF operation.
1t appears that the various cloth
ing firms and manufacturing plants
in the city of Chicago are constantly
having slightly used and second
hand garments, for both men anc
women, suits ~overcats single gar
ments shoes and women's apparel, as
well as bankrupt stocks which they
dispose of in wholesale quantities to
the Publix Sales Corporation, who in
turn resell the clothing articles at a
-~1f1% - &Lo~neo1uoc Nf arror a.n
hundred per cent and at prices fully
fifty per cent below the regular mar
ket prices, and as our race ultimate
ly consumes about eighty per tent Of
this class Of goods it would be con-
sistent for our people to reap the
profit in the distribution Of same.
Any reader, whether regularly en-
ployed or whether engaged in some
other line of business can profitably
handle these garments to u people
and viii find the disposition Of same
a profitable and y~ear-around bust
ness, providing they have as much as
Twenty-Five Dollars to enable them
to purchase an original stock of as
sorted garments. incidentally, sixty
e cent Of this firms help is color
ed.
1 would ask that all readers who
write, and are interested, to address
their correspondence to the personal
attention. of Mr. B. N Vollens, Pub
lix Sales Corporation, $40 Roosevelt
Road, Chicago.
Our editors may be interested in
knowing that this firm contemplates
a campaign of display advertisement
in our publications and at their re-
quest l have given them a list of the
various publishers cooperating with
me and l would advise each to con-
tact Mr. Vollens at once sending
space rates, etc.
A L. Bachelor, Of San Jose
California writes:
81 have noticed that you are
glad to recommend to the readers Of
your columns, items that you believe
will be of interest to them. | should
like to have you recommend some,
thing to your readers which I know
is going to prove Of great benefit tt
hundreds who may be suffering al
this time. 1 am speaking Of a cure
Fl pulmonary tuberculosis in thf
first, second and third stages The
International Research Laboratories
$50 Market Street. San Francisco
California have through twenty OF
more years of experimenting pefect-
ed a treatment which is providing it
self and obtaining results I am
personally acquainted with Mr. Mich
olas West, who heads he Laboratory
work, and people who have used his
remedies have prven to my mind,
through just observing them, that
his treatment is all it claims.
aside from the fact that you will
be helping members of your race
who are suffering from tuberculosis,
and also helping the international
Research Laboratories in distributing
their booklets to the places where
they viii do the most good, you will
be doing yourself a great benefit be-
cause 1 am sure that thousands will
thank you for bringing his matter to
their attention."
I hope my readers, suffering from
some degree tuberculosis. can gain
some good by writing to the Inter
national Research Laboratory.
