HERE and
THERE

In my more OF less infrequent
visits to Chicago l make it point
always to spend a little time on
47th street. This is the most i'm
portant thoroughfare for Negro
business. / like to compare the in
crease of that business over the
last time / had an opportunity to
note it. Better even than that, /
am intrigued with the growing ac-
ceptance by the Negro of the
thought that through the growth
of businesses directed by himself,
comes opportunity for larger place
ments of his own people.
There are few places in this Sec
tor where the Negro spends his
money, that some of it is not re-
turned through employment of
Negro statesmen or other workers
even when the business is owned
by white men.
More and more the Negro him
self is investing his own money,
either individually or collectively, in
some business that sells to Negroes
the things Negroes have so long
bought only from white business.
The manifold advantages of this
are too obvious to need amplifca-
ton.
When l was in Chicago last year
the Jones Brothers were just COM
pleting the remodeling of three
story building. This week / found
the remodehng job complete and
the ground floor occupied by a five
and dime store. It was as big as
the ordinary Woolworth's, ap-
peared to carry about the same
line of goods and was being well
patronized.
The marvellous difference was
that all it's numerous clerks land
that included the cashiers) were
colored.
The Jones boys are colored.
They've amassed some "quick
money" and evidently have no in
tention of letting it get away. It
proves their good judgment and
race fealty when they invest in
fast-turning business like the 5
and 10, giving steady employment
to a score or more of their group.
