A TWO DOLLAR AID

from razzing them. 1t doesn't sur
prise this writer, because the OR
PLANS have been so used to meet
ing some of our BIG SHOTS who
are broke and who think it is an honor
to be seen talking to the heads of
The HOUSE OF ENGLESTEIN'. For
their information, or for the informa
ton of those concerned, this writer
wishes it to be known that the Adj
vertising in the CHICAGO WORLD
will at no time affect this column.
Personally this writer is not interest
ed in advertising, but just want the
ORPHANS to know that at least
there are a few COLORED people on
the southside who are not asleep and
know their tricks, and are game e.
nough to let the public know Of them
All we want is for the ORPHANS
to PUT Colored GIRLS in the office
end make DICK JONES manager.
Just what is the reason for not MAX
ing Dick Jones manager? You and
your beloved brother want the people
to think of Dick in those terms, do
YOU not? Give him a break and pro-
mote him. Put some Coiored GIRLS
in your office. If you cannot find any
efficient girls, just let yours truly
know, he will get them for you.
POWER
To make two men powerful in any
community is dangerous. We here
on the southside, have without any
thought at all have made these two
ORPHANS rich men and one in par
ticular has become so insolent that
he has held this writer cheap by say
that a two dollar advertisement will
stop the fight on the South Center
Dept. Store l wish to state that he
holds the rest of you in the same
light. He and his brother, commonly
known as LITTLE CAESAR have no
earthly use for any Colored people
and are concerned only about how
much money they can get out Of
Colored people.
JOE LOUIS
JOE LOUIS won from King Levin
sky in less than one round, but not
b fore TIE King Fish smashed Louis
in the nose and drew the claret. The
rest of the sport writer's failed to re-
cord the blow, Joe himself says he
wasn't hit, but yours truly saw blood
on Joe's nose and thinks it was made
possible by blow from the Kingfish,
unless the referee hit him accidently.
MONEY
Joe Louis recievetl for his end ap-
proximately 100000 out of an esti-
mated gate of nearly 5000, 100000. The
Kingfish received about $32.000.OO,
and the promoters took what was left
(about $3O,OOOOO) The two fighters
furnished the drawing power and had
nothing to lose. The promoters were
willing to split with them.
SAVOY BALLROOM
The SAVOY BALLROOM has been
conducting fights almost four years,
and the management has taken in
about a quarter of million dollars,
with a large percentage Of the money
furnished by Colored people of the
southside. EDDIE PLIQUE has been
the drawing card and fight promoter,
end has made quite few friends and
money for the ORPHANS, but do
YOU think for once that Eddie has
pulled down anywhere near as much
as Louis in these four years? If you
think so, your are crazy. Those OR
PLANS think as much of Eddie as
they think of any other Colored per-
son and that isn't very much. This
writer doesn't know just what Eddie's
end is out there, but you can bet your
bottom dollar that he isn't getting
enough. The same applies to DICK
JONES. They are used as mollasses
tc catch flies and are not compen-
stated accordingly.
S5O,OOO.OOO.OO DOLLARS
The ORPHANS know that the
Colored people Of this district spend
approximately $50,OOO.0OOOO dollars
yearly and they are concerned only in
the money you spend and not in your
welfare, but they want you to be-
lleve that they love you and at the
same time they are draining your
very life out of you. Ii those OR
PHANS' refuse to put Colored girls
tc work in their office, you Of the
southside should take your trade else
where until such time as they will
have come to their senses. 1t would
not be a hard matter to make them
come across, money will make them
dc almost anything. Remember this
they take the money they get from
you and spend it with people who
are not in the district. they them
selves do not live here and never will
They still use white printers to print
their circulars, claiming that Colored
printers are not prepared to print the
kind Of circulars they want. Well you
can answer that by remaining out OF
