Why don't sou suggest the idea that
Negro Business find some practical
method AZ continuing the excellent
service that James A Jackson has
built I'D IN Washington. Surely, what
Ne has built u ID too valuable to be
permitted q disintegrate? Negro
Business, combined. could easily use
his services, his records. and his con-
facts in forming some sort Of a cen
tralized trace bureau at Washington.
Think il over; talk il over; and then
ACT.
