ton of the funeral home OF Mrs.
Marie Lou Strickland. on Mitchell,
at Caniff. This is the only colored
funeral home now in Hamtramck,
and we are proud OF it.Mrs. Strick-
land is the only woman mortician
in this city OF either race.
Possibly. the opening OF this cs-
adjustment may pave the way for
some other public-spirited citizen
to start some other race enter
prize in Hamtramck. IL seems
quite unfortunate that we have such
a small proportion of colored bust
ness concerns in this community.
We compliment Mrs. Strickland on
this forward move. and invite the
citizens TO inspect the lovely fun
eral home that has just opened.
The dedication was held June n.

were present. Among them were
Rev. Lee T. Clay. Rev. William
Brooks ST.. Rev. J. A. Wilson, Rev.
f. ID. Mills. Rev. M. J. Hendrieth,
