dSSpasd In writing this incident seemed 10 imply that
Negroes would be wise to boycott this establishment because Of h
unAmsean practices don't know WHISTLER this intention
bat feel that article leaves that impression the mind
Of single Negro dsrVies to that There has been
Increasing tendency and individuals In the
