Progress Of Our

can be purchased at almost all
newstands in Dayton including
many ofthose downtown. They are
EBONY and OUR WORLD mag
a%zines, both monthlies. The maya
zines rate with any similar white
publication published today in this
country.
EBONY is published in Chicago
by John Johnson, while OUR
WORLDS publishing offices are
in New York City. John Davis is
publisher. According to the Audit
Bureau of Circulation (A.B.C.)
statistics the newsstands sales of
the two magazines compare fav-
orably with other magazines, par
ticularly when one considers the
restrictions on the market for the
two monthlies.
For the first six months of 49,
40 EBONY is in 53rd place in the
comparison Of newsstands sales, a
step-up of two places since the
corresponding period last year.
OUR WORLD is in 18th place, a
step-up Of II since last year. The
average sales per issue of EBONY
in this period was 298,591 while
OUR WORLD was 164,844. The
latter magazine, incidentally, shoW-
a 1873 per cent increase in sales
which was the tenth highest Of
the first 100 on the list.
An outstanding feature of both
magazines is the interracial CO.
operation they foster. And for
those who complain that Negroes
just cannot operate a business
successfully and competently, one
has only to peruse the end prod

These magazines deserve the
support of everybody. They are

people can accomplish. They
should remain so.

"It would be possible for a nation
to lose its freedom gradually in its
effort to prevent Communist
minorities from inf1ltrating into
