Calvin's Digest
By Floyd j. Calvin

In thinking of Negro business,
how many of us stop to think of
the gallant part our manufactures
are playing in this period of re-
cession. Take those who produce
cosmetics. The Government has
placed numerous new taxes on this
business, since it is classed as a
luxury, and competition from the
white group for Negro trade in
this field, which is heavily financ-
ed by ample capital, is unusually
fierce; but our makers of Poro,
Nine. Walker, Murray's, Apex, Nu-
Nile, High Brown and other pro-
ducts, are holding their places, and
by the same token, holding up the
reputation of the race for being
able to survive a difficult period.
Merchandising is the key to sue
cess in the cosmetic field, and 1t
may be written down to the credit
of our executives in this line, that
they have mastered the principles
and the art of merchandising. The
white manufacturers have tried,
and are still trying desperately, to
take away the business that has
made some of the biggest names
in Negro business, but the genius
that built their businesses is still
carrying them on. We salute this
section of Negro business, and
commend it for its ability to hold
out and hold on. Calvin Service)

First A.M.E. Church, DIR. Fred
A. Hughes. minister.

Sunday will be Pioneer Day at
First Church and everything is be-
ing done to make this day one long
to be remembered. Instead of Sc
ries of short talks, the committee
has asked Dr. Hughes to address
the pioneers instead AS this will
perhaps be the last sermon preach
ed by our minister before the an
nual conference, it, no doubt, will
be master sermon. A large au-
dience is expected, and pioneers
are anxious to be present to an
swer the roll call.
Last Sunday Rev. George S. AL
len stirred the audience with his
beautiful message, as he preached
ardently in spite of his illness. This
is the fourth and last quarterly
conference of the year and the
Presiding Elder expressed himself
as pleased with the progress the
First Church has made thus far.
We regret sincerely the illness
of Mrs. Hughes and Mrs. Allen and
trust they both will be able to be
with us again this Sunday.
Sunday, August Fl is Mems Day
and the men are out to beat the
record set by the women on Won
ems Day.
Be sure to see your leader OF
DR.. Hughes and pay your annual
Dollar Money and Conference
Claim. Conference will be in Spo.
kane August 24-28. Only a few
days left.

Bertha M. Leiois While the
housewife is shopping for the ia
BILE, it will pay her to make the
Lord of the Manor jar loose with
few extra sheckles so she can
take advantage of the many bar
gains that are today in Seattle's
stores. OF course at this season
there always are many bargains,
but this year especially good buys
seem plentiful. So shake the old
boy down, and make him shell out,
girls, for there is no time like the
present.
And now, until we return from
Yakima, this concludes this weeks
