How Companies In
Many Fields Cultivate
The Negro Market
By David J. Sullivan
in American Salesmanship Magazine

Is your product one for national
distribution? Are you getting full
use of your production output ?
What are you doing for postwar
consumer demand that will effec-
lively employ your widened produc-
ton facilities? These and many
other questions are plaguing many
manufacturers of durable and con-
sumner goods today.
Your planning today for the
peace tomorrow will largely deter
mine your survival in the tremen-
dous postwar rush for customers
to buy the many products which
will then be put in manufacture.
One important market cannot be
ignored-America's 100000 Ne
groes.
The Negro market, which in 1899
spent nearly six billion dollars, will
greatly increase its buying power
after the war, due to the widely ex-
panded employment gains made
during the war in nearly every in
dustry. Much of the gain made will
be a result Of Negro Indignation in
labor unions and other organized
labor groups.
From the viewpoint of the manu-
facturer, this is of extreme i'm
portance. The Negro market looms
larger as the need for full cultiva-
ton Of every American consumer
becomes apparent.
To more readily see the value of
this market, let US look at the rec
ords of those companies that are
sales leaders in the Negro market
because of wise employment Of
Negro specialists in sales promo
ton and merchandising; that have
enviable performance records now
in the field of selling and distribu-
ton.
One of the earliest pioneers in
the field is the Standard Oil Co. of
New Jersey. Seven years ago
Standard Oil employed James A.
Jackson, former chief of the Bust
ness Bureau of the United States
Department Of Commerce. Today,
Standard Oil enjoys $3.50 of all the
gasoline and oil sales to Negro con-
sumers; has over 400 Negro-owned
stations and would have shown an
increase of unusual proportions for
1912 were it not for Pearl Harbor.
Thinking in terms of dollar value,
Negro motorists used $1,000, 900
worth Of gasoline and oil in 1910.
In gallons that represents over
$500, 900 unit gallons.
Other gasoline companies also
have enjoyed remarkable success in
the Negro market. Continental Oil
Co. of Oklahoma has an able repre-
sentative, Dudley Luck, who travels
its Negro market areas. Like

lark & Tilford Import Corp.

In this connection the Pepsi Cola
Co. is even expanding as is Nehi-
Corp. with Royal Crown Cola-so
much so that they may be consid-
cred first in the Negro market.
When the market is thought of in
terms of dollars and cents, it is in
teresting to know that in 1889 the
29,827 Negro-owned retail stores
realized sales Of ST., 466,00O. In
this group more than 1000 stores
are purveyors of groceries, meats
and vegetables. For that year Ne
gro consumers spent 100000 for
toothpaste; $2s,0OO,OOO for paint;
1915, 100000 for automobiles, Of
which $3.50 were new car sales. In
durable goods the estimated pur-
chases by Negro consumers were in
excess of $3OO,OOO,O0O.
St. Paul recorder. [volume] (St. Paul, Minn.) 1934-2000, 1943-03-26

Standard Oil, it too enjoys large
sales. It would be safe to estimat<
it's share of the market at about
300. Shell Union Oil Corp. has
Negro statesmen and Negro sales
supervisors; consequently, it has 8
large slice of the Negro business.
Certainly with cars costing less
in postwar years, Negro ownership
Of cars will nearly double likewise
the sales of gas and oil.
But will you be ready to get youl
share of the business then?
Yes, if you include in your plans
a Negro specialist to develop the
market for you.
Consider the record Of Pabst
Sales Co., for instance. Five years
ago Pabst business among Negroes
was relatively insignificant, despite
the fact that beer consumption
among Negroes is high. William B
Graham did a job in Ohio, ther
moved to Chicago to work for 8
distributor. Edwin L. Morris, vice
president in charge Of advertising
and director Of sales promotion fol
Pabst, conceived an idea. He said
"Let's hire William B. Graham anc
put him in charge of the entire
Negro market"
Sales to Negroes Soar
Pabst hired Mr.. Graham and it.
sales in the Negro market have
scared ever since. Here are the re
suits of his work in Harlem, New
York City's Negro community:
Mr.. Graham came to New Yorl
in the winter of 1871. He surveyed
the field, then put a Negro sales
man in the Harlem territory. Pabst
sales for Harlem in the entire yea
of 1910 amount to $4,000 cases
But in May, 1912, Pabst sold ovel
10000 cases Of beer in the same
territory. Pabst moved from fourth
place into first place nudging The
formidable Anheuser-Busch, Inc

and its sales are increasing.
Their position in the Negro mar
ket is the same throughout the
country.
In the food field, too, there are
examples of highly successful sell
ing the Negro market campaign

Civilization

Remember yesterday-you and I,
Tossing pennies in box,
To let the little heathens try
Religion, shoes and socks.
Less and less our pennies bought,
We had to raise our antes,
1t seems our missionaries taught
The natives to wear panties.
1t grew each Sunday less a joke,
Those bigger, better pile-ons,
1t looked as if our mission folk
Had introduced our nylons.
Natives learned to walk with poise,
To live with eyes upon a star,
When suddenly they heard a noise,
And woke up in war.
Pm sure if my dark cousins knew
About the woes of income tax,
They'd dig deep without ado,
And send our pennies back!
