Kvidence of this growing race con fidence we saw manifested on every hand in Memphis. Nothing illustrates this better than the fact that there are two banks capitalized, owned, of ficered and operated by the race in Memphis. These banks have been in successful operation for seven years and are recognized as sound finan cial institutions by the bankers’ as sociation of that southern city. Do you grasp the full significance of this? The more one thinks about it, the more stupendous this appears as a lact and factor in racial evolution. Think of the progress that this one fact indicates. Fifty years ago, s. cicely more than that, the Negro was a slave. He owned nothing that he might cal! in = i vn. Turned or*' penniless upon an unsympathetic world. Spumed by those who had robbed him of } is labor and yet chi de 1 him for his <d-.’ftlessness and povo Today we have bankers! A signifi cant fact which gives the lie to the charge of inability and thriftiessness. Thriftless people have no need of banks but of almshouses. Where Did They Learn? Moreover, where did these men have the opportunity of learning the bank ing business? Did you ever think of that ? The young white man can enter a banking house and become familiar with the business. This opportunity has been denied the Colored youth. And despite this fact, we have mem bers of this race successfully conduct ing banks throughout the South and one in Chicago. The two Memphis banks of which we shall tell you in our next article, are the Fraternal Savings Bank and Trust Company, located at 358 Beale avenue, and the Solvent Savings and Trust Company, of 390 Beale street. We had the pleasure of being shown through these banks and of meeting the officials and clerks, all affable, keen, alert business men of whom we have every reason to be proud. We were told of the successful Christmas Club by which they had induced many to start savings accounts and of the growing habit of saving on the part of our people. In our interview with these gentlemen our narrow horizon was enlarged. We were told by one of our inter ested readers that these articles are too short and “break off most ex asperatingly at the most interesting part.” Glad they are interesting, and sorry that they must break off so abruptly, but then, you know our space is limited. ro PROMOTE NEGRO BUSINESS LEAGUE Tuskegee Institute, Ala., May 5.— In their desire to make the National Negro Business League an organiza tion of direct service to its members and to the race in general, the offi cers and members of the executive committee through the co-operation of a friend of Tuskegee Institute and of the late Dr. Booker T. Washington, have decided to send an experienced advertising man into various com munities as its representative to or ganize new local Negro Business Leagues, revive local leagues which have become inactive and to help lo cal leagues outline a definite, con structive program for extending the trade of race enterprises through standardized advertising and mer chandising methods. Beginning May 1st, Mr. Albon L. Holsey, who has attained considerable experience as an advertisement writer and all-around advertising man, will begin a whirlwind campaign under the auspices of the National League, cov ering the South and Southwest. For nearly two years, Mr. Holsey has been closely associated with Mr.Emmett J. Scott, secretary of Tuskegee Institute and also secretary of the National Ne gro Business League, with whom he has w-orked as an assistant in the Business League work. He is, there fore, thoroughly conversant with the league's activities. The itinerary which has been out lined includes visits to important cities in South Georgia, North Flor ida, Louisiana, Mississippi, Texas, Arkansas, Oklahoma, Missouri, South ern Illinois and Indiana, Western Kentucky anti concludes at Kansas City, Missouri, August 16, when the annual session of the National Negro Business League begins.
