Mr. Roosevelt Strong, agent of

Miss. Mr.. Strong began selling Is
papers, he is now selling two hun
dred.
A very valuable agent for the
Enterprise Burial Association, Mr..
Strong finds plenty of time to par
tiipate in all things that tend to
mean progress for members of his
race in his town and county.
He is scout master, Sunday school
superintendent and an officer in
his church.
In recent interview with Mr.
Strong, it was learned that he is
what can easily be called a self
made man, having had an oppor-
tunity to get only meager educa-
ton, but who had the determine
ton and preservation to overcome
all obstacles.
The following exherts from let
ter written to Mr. Strong, by Mr.
r. c. Cook, president of the En-
teprise Burial and Undertaking Co.,
some time ago, shows in what high
esteem he is held by his employ
er:
my dear Mr.. Strong:
With your remittance there was
little word you said which
brought a lot of encouragement to
me. Agents don't know l ought to
be encouraged sometimes-it goes
without any explanation that Roo
selvt Strong stands in the class of
agents Al. The company feels and
believes that Strong is absolutely
honest and full of zeal and works
untirIngly or else he could never
have built such substantial debit
in the face of both colored and
white competition like he has.
Il hope this will encourage you
