paper Without they deaf, dumb blind No greater
tragedy could befal them.
These men surrounding the Northwest Enterprise de-
the policy of the paper shall all times earessly pro-

Race Solidarity
Backs Enterprise

No finer race spirit was ever
exhibited than by those who res
pended to the call of Mr.. Bernard
E. Squires, secretary of the local
Urban League to safeguard the
continued publication of the North
west Enterprise.
The object of the call was to
devise ways and means for the
continued publication of the North
west Enterprise, the only Race
journal in the Northwest.
The publication has been kept
alive as a Race necessity by the
present publisher and close friends
who realize the value of a Race
journal.
The spontaneous response, cou-
pied with a determination that its
only publication must survive,
leaves us free to say, the North
west Enterprise will continue to
greet you every week.
Watch for our special announce
ment.
