Working Together
By Mary d. Mcfarland

Dear Readers: / am going Il
have a little friendly chat with yOr
about an enterprise in which WI
all should be vitality interested.
The Recorder, as you all know
is our own race newspaper
Through its weekly editions we arr
informed of the social, political
business, and fraternal affairs Of
our people. 1t is also the only me,
dunn through which we give ex'
preston of the injustices and dis,
elimination against us.
1t is quite true we need subScrip-
tions for our paper, but we need
even more the spirit of co-opera-
ton, working together in the vari-
Gus interests connected with the
paper. These are days of co-opera-
ton. 1t is only by this method of
working that we can receive re-
suits not only for our paper, but
for the numerous enterprises in
which Negroes are involved.
/ wonder how many of you read
the advertising in this paper. Now
l must admit / do not always read
advertisements or appeals in all
newspapers, but l do read the ad-
vertisements which appear in this
newspaper first to see the class of
firms which use our paper for their
advertisements, and second, to en-
deavor to give my patronage to
those Arms.
/ am moved to say that if you
get the habit of reading the ad-
vertisements in your paper you will
develop a sympathetic attitude to-
ward Negro business which is so
much needed to combat the anti
success psychology for which ouI
group is noted.
There is no need of fumbhng
around trying to establish brother
hood without actually being broth,
erly towards each other.
We must know that one of the
main elements in securing success
of a minority group such as ours
must be solidarity and superior eff,
ficiency. This the Recorder, St
Paul, and the Spokesman, Mime
apolis, is endeavoring to accom-
plish. During the last three weeks
several firms have seen fit to use
our paper for advertising purposes
The T. A. Borg Furniture Store ad,
vertised some outstanding values il
the st. Paul Recorder. In justice
to yourselves and your paper yor
should show your appreciation tc
this store by giving them your pat
ronage. Every Negro in need of a
piece of furniture should visit the
T. A. Borg Furniture Store. Pat
ronize the firm who patronizes you,
This is the kind of cooperation
which is able to solve our prob
| lens and put US on the side of vic
tory.
Let US stop complaining about
injustices and discrimination by
white people and ignore them alto
gether, for remember that there is
not single injustice done US which
we do not practice among our,
selves, unless it's lynching. There
is not a single discrimination So
cially which white people practice
against US which we do not prac,
tice among ourselves.
Friends, let US institute a deter,
mination and a movement among
ourselves here in the Northwest Of
working together for the best in.
terest of the race and thereby pro,
duce a finer quality of manhood
womanhood and childhood. The
conclusion of the whole matter is
we must work together for our owl
race DEVELOPMENT and perfection.
