urers spent $12,000,000 to advertise
their products for one year. From my
own observation, not one of these man.
ufacturers found it necessary to spend
any of this amount in the Negro
press.
In 1886 these companies spent the
following amounts for advertising.
l. The Proctor and Gamble Co.,
manufacturers of PIG Soap, Chipso,
Ivory Soap, Ivory Flakes and Ivory
Snow spent $5,876, 146 for advertising.
2. The Colgate Palmolive -Peet
Company, manufacturers of Palm Oh
i've Soap, Cashmere Bouquet Soap, Su-
per Suds and Concentrated Super
Suds spent ST. ,I69,577 for advertising
3. The Lever Brothers Company
manufacturers of Lux, Rinse and Life
buoy Soap, spent $685. SOB for adver-
tising.
The Omaha guide., 1938-09-10

a. The Fels Company, manufac-
turers of Fels Naptha Soap and Chips
spent $480,71 for advertising.
If these soap manufacturers had
spent only 19d of their advertising in
the Colored newspapers, the income of
these papers would have been greater
by $121, 300 in that year. These new
advertisers would have had to employ
Colored statesmen to back up their ad-
vertisements and to promote the sale
of their products in this market. The
increased revenue of $121,3O0 would
enable the Colored newspapers to give
employment for one year to seventy
five or more Colored youths.
About ten years ago the Lever
Brothers Company made bid for
Colored patronage by advertising the
merits of their poducts in the Colored
newspapers. They employed Colored
