New England bulletin., 1949-06-04

There are reasons for it and we are not ashamed of blowing our own horn, so long as the notes ring true.
 It is because the BULLETIN is unique - the only local Negro weekly.
 It is because the BULLETIN is sincere - striving to become the voice, not only of the Negro in New England, but also of minor ities in the area.
 1t is because the BULLETIN Is sane - alert to violations of hu- man relations and yet eager to publish the positive side of the pic ture.
 With twenty-thousand readers
 for an audience, many a weekly has sat back contented.
 But the BULLETIN wants pres tige.
 The BULLETIN wants to speak in accents of authority in the in ,terests of the people of the New England area - people of all mi morities.
 We Want 5000 More
 So the BULLETIN is now in the market - as of today - for an- other five thousand paid circula- tion.
 Reader circulation is usually de- termined by multiplying two or three times the number of cash customers.
 If the BULLETIN succeeds in this campaign, it will mean that this newspaper is reaching the homes and consciousness of forty thousand persons in the New Eng land area.
 Forty thousand of anything is a lot.
 And when a newspaper can speak for forty-thousand members of minority groups, the cause of minorities becomes the concern of the majority.
 That is why THE NEW ENG LAND BULLETIN is practically giving away money.
 The BULLETIN is carrying it's campaign to the people to sell this paper to the people.
 The BULLETIN wants crew of several hundred alert, practical salesmen who will swing into this drive to increase the power and prestige of a newspaper which, in ten weeks, has proved it's sincere ity beyond the shadow of a doubt.
 The BULLETIN is not asking for charity.
 The BULLETIN will pay this crew of people - will pay them well. :, The BULLETIN drive is on as your eyes hit these words.
 It will last for four-week peri

He likes to read philosophy and the better work of Negro authors. He like poetry, classic or modern, as long as the poets song is shon- est and practical and can be read in terms of day to day living, or dreaming.
 He hates intolerance, and Negro leaders who don't lead, or who lead on a commission basis and are Ne groes by profession, for profit.
