WHAT’S HIS SURNAME?

NEGRO CITIES—PHILADELPHIA
By Daniel W. Chase for the Asso
ciated Negro Press.
Commercial life in Philadelphia is
far outstepping that of any city in
the Union. This refers especially to
the Negro element. This is accounted
for by the fact that for so many years
the Philadelphia Negro has been
practically asleep. He has been con
tent with just “getting along” and
having had things reasonably well in
his favor, he has just felt himself all
right, especially if he could boast of
certain family connections.
But that day has passed. The new
generation of practical business men,
many of whom have received the rudi
ments of a commercial training in
the various high schools and colleges,
has brought a new day in the busi
ness of the Negro. And the oppor
tunty of business leadership today
among Negroes is almost boundless.
Philadelphia is practically a virgin
field; the surface, so to speak, has
not been scratched.
Commercial activity in Philadelphia
covers a period of just a few years—
within the memory of living men.
Many can relate how a few years ago
certain localities in the business dis
trict were entirely populated by col
ored people, who, if they had had the ,
vision, could today have been wealthy. |
This statement of fact may only be
properly measured and partially en
visaged by carefully calculating that
which has been accomplished within i
the past few years. A true and un
biased vision of the opportunity that
exists may be attained by a calm and
dispassionate appraisal of existing
conditions.

Are you self-conscious
about the impression
you make on people?
PERSONAL appearance has a lot
to do with the way you feel.
Clothes count, of course. But still
there is one thing so many people
overlook—something that at once
brands them as either fastidious or
careless—Me teeM.
Notice today how you, yourself,
watch another person’s teeth when
he or she is talking. If the teeth are
not well kept they at once become a
liability.
Listerine Teeth Paste cleans teeth a new
way. Aj last ear chemists have discoverotka
Polishing ingredient that really cleans with
out scratching the enamel—a difficult problem
finally solved.
A large tube of Listerine Tooth
Paste is only 25 cents; at your drug
gist’s.—Lambert Pharmacol Co.t Saint
Louisa U. S. A.
