THE NEGRO IN BUSINESS

THE NEGRO IN BUSINESS
 The Negro in business, despite the many obstacles that have con- fronted him, has done surprisingly well.
 Because of the lack of storage space, he is forced to buy his mer- chandise on a smaller scale than do the chain stores and so nr'' purchase at a slightly higher rate. To realize any profit on such art icles he must sell at a cent or two more than the stores buying on a larger scale. Yet on some items, he can and does undersen the larger corporations.
 Due to the lack of Negro whole sale dealers 100 percent of his wares are purchased from white dealers, but according to a sur vey, there has been trouble An getting merchandise except scarce

PERTAINING than ever with their
stunts of comedy AND showmanship,
mixed in with great basketball.
Call it ledgerdemain, sleight-of-
hand, or what-have-you, the fact re-
mains that the colored court stars
can do almost everything with a
basketball but make it talk. With
such outstanding performers on
deck as Bernie Price, ga" center
from way back; Zach Clayton, a
former member of the New York
Rens and Washington Bears; Duke
Cumberland, Trotter star for
many years now; Silas Phelps, Ted
Strong and Ducky Moore, they
manipulate the big ball with almost
unimaginable skill. Their rapid-fre
passing is a show in itself.
The irresponsible Trotters pin the
ball on their finger-tips, pass it be-
tween the legs of their bewildered
opponents, and perform numerous
other hair-raising stunts. An I'M
.suspecting forward is liable to find
himself with the ball perched on
top of his head while the crowd
roars in delight The Trotters never
deliberately try to make the opposi-
ton look silly by their little tricks,
but do so to add a little more zest
and color to the contest. Even the
victims themselves get a kick out
of the riotous goings-on. The colored
boys still feature the ever-popular
football" and baseball" plays,
guaranteed to leave the fans rolling
in the aisles.
So you see, the Trotters' claim to
the title of the most entertaining
basketball team in America is not
without foundation.
Now don't get the idea that you're
just going down to the Armory and
see the Treaders make monkeys out
of themselves. The Trotters make
1t a point to roll up substantial
lead before going into their act, as
proven by the fact that they've won
1888 games against only 209 defeats
The globe-independent. (Hagerstown, Md.) 1943-19??, 1946-03-14

in the past eighteen years. That's
an average of about las per year
which isn't bad in anybody's
league. They play from October
through April, eight or nine times
a week, and even have a farm
system" of lesser-known clubs, from
which they draw their talent.
The Trotters haven't appeared in
this city since 1910, the same year
they captured the worlds profess
sional basketball championship.
Ever since that time local sports
lovers have been longing for the
chance to see them in action again.
And this Sunday afternoon they're
getting that chance. The main game
is slated to get under way at 3:15,
preceded by the usual preliminary
at 2, when the Potomac Diners
clash with the colored Hagerstown
Tigers.
Due to the huge chunk of the gate
the Trotters will receive, the Tread
er management has announced a
slight hike in admissions. It'll cost
one buck to get into the arena, and
you can secure advance tickets (no
reserved) at the News Agency on
the square, the Valencia, and the
Elite Rendevouz on North Jonathan
street.
TreaderS Lose
Last Sunday the Treaders met
and lost to a much-improved New
York Bombers quint, the final score
reading So to AT. The Ludwiggers
were way off their usual form, as
evidenced by the fact that they beat
this same club by Is points while
they were masquerading under the
name of the House of David. It
must have done the boys good to get
those whiskers off.
The Diners didn't suffer the same
fate, though. They gained revenge
on the Harrisburg Daires by taking
them into camp by a Sc to SO count.

Joe Louis Signs Contract; Facts
Of AI-American Drink Corp.
Uncovered in Investigation
NEW SOFT DRINK
TO BE NAMED
AFTER JOE LOUIS
(BY CALVIN

NEW YORK CITY (CNS) Fol
loving a series of mysterious Incl
dents, it was finally revealed this
week that Joe Louis, Heavyweight
Champ of the World, signed a con
tract June 21st, 1916 just two days
after his fistic triumph over Billy
Conn which will probably result in
being the most profitable business
dealing of his entire fighting car
eer.
What kept the country agape in
wonder of what the new contract
specified and moreover, what it
concerned, came to light when it
was discovered that Joe Louis him
self is giving full support to a new
soft drink named in his honor. the
Joe Louis Punch. Though nego-
tiations have been in operation
since last November, the final pa
pers we're signed by Joe just two
days after he had kayoed the bal
letting Billy.
But how did such an idea of a
Joe Louis Punch get its initial be
ginning? What force kept behind
that spark into making it a real
ity------all in the span Of eight
months? ?.
That, too, took time to uncover.
After learning that Joe Louis
Punch was a product of the newly
formed All-Amer1can Drink Cor
poration, a half million dollar pro-
ject, we found the principals of
the corporation busy behind closed
doors of their offices at SIS West
42nd Street, New York City.
Patiently waiting more inform
alton as secretaries buzzed the
conference room. Soon, out came
spokesman William B. Graham,
who Owed right into what we
were waiting to hear.
I'VE got the idea some time a.
CO., began the advertising execu-
tive, consultant and promotion ex-
| pert. Zone day several of the
boys were at the office making
up a prospectur for a national soft
drink company. we couldnI nelp
but notice in the survey the ire
mendous volume of soft drinks
consumed by Americans and yet
how few soft drink firms there ac-
tually ire. We decided then to
have one Of our own. But what
| to name it? Another idea struck
us. Joe Louis, being the hero of
the day and a mar of the people
why not christen our new drink
Joe Louis Punch? We talked to
Joe and he liked the idea. Then
the hard work began. Setting up

million dollar corporation, Mr..
Graham assured US, "and intend
to increase capitalization in the
near future. Our punch will hit
the market October and we have
great plans for its expansion. We
first take it to Mexico, South AM
erica, Honolulu, Australia, Russia
and Scandinavia, among other
countries. We expect the sugar
situation to be relieved by early
Spring. Then we can hit other
sections Of Europe. Of course, A

The Punch Itself. which they eX-
pect to pack a wallop, as does Joe
will arrive in a bright z OF. bottle.
The sparkling water and ginger
ale will come in quarts.
. A careful promotion program is
being planned on the punch to
gear it for hitting the waiting
market with a surety of those
Louis knockouts. With Joe's help
and cooperation, the All-Ameriean
feels sure they will reach their
peak in the near future of being
among the first of the country's
soft drink firms. Such a position
would be well won for a product
bearing the Louis name.
"You might say" added the
Corp. executive as he lit a cigar,
that we want the public to feel
that Joe Louis Punch is the peo-
pies drink just as Joe is the peo-
pies hero"
