Blazes Trail for Negro
Statesmen in Ohio Town
BY SIMEON S. BOOKER, Jr.
flor AMP

YOUNGSTUWN-Since Nathaniel
Lee started selling electrical appli-
ances for a white concern here, he
has sold over a thousand dollars
worth of equipment. Being one OF
the pioneers in Negro salesmanship,
Lee has established quite trade
in this valley.
The method in which he landed
the job demonstrates his ability il
cracker-jack salesmanship. The COM
pany, being in an all-Negro exhibl-
ton, wished to have a Negro explain
the details of the equipment and at
tempt to sell it. Al commission was
to be given for any appliances sold.
Lee refused the job, but went
down to the company's offices, and
talked with the managers. When ne
came out, he was part-time sales
man for the concern.
In the ensuing months, Lee did SC
well that the company hired him on
q full time basis, and then to streng-
then the staff, they employed another
Negro, a woman.
This is the first time that local
colored person has been employed
bv an electric concern on a sales
force. Lee, a holder Of Teachers
license, but unable to secure that
type Of work here, has blazed the
trail for local sepia job-seekers
Since his appointment, other firms
have followed suit and employed
Negro statesmen.
