John Rossman of Rossman-
Clemens mems clothiers with
stores in Minneapolis and St. Paul
announced Monday the promotion
of Scott Faison to the sales force.
He will work out of the Mime
apois store located at COG Henne-
pin.
Mr.. Faison, tailor by trade, has
been in the employ of Rossman &
Clemens for ten years in the al
terations and tailoring department.
Rossman-C Clemens are following
the custom of many national firms
who are promoting their colored
employees to sales positions to
show appreciation for the patron
age of the colored customers.
Mr.. Faison is highly respected in
Minneapolis as president of the
progressive Gloom Chasers' Social
Literary and Art Club and as an
active church and choir worker.
His knowledge of tailoring will
enable him to give Rossman-
Clemens customers the benefit of
his judgment in clothing values. In
line with the established policy of
this newspaper we urge our read
ers to patronize those firms which
show a disposition to reciprocate
for Negro patronage by employ
ment and other cooperative actions.
