NEGRO CITIES—PHILADELPHIA
(Continued from Page 3)
Negroes as a whole are becoming
real geniuses in business leadership.
They are coming in Philadelphia more
and more to learn the necessity of be
ing producers as well as consumers.
They reckon on a basis of production
per worker. There is being brought
to bear constant economic pressure to
enlarge the output of every pair of
worker’s hands, because there has
been so much to do and so relatively
few trained hands to do it.
The younger generation chooses
rather to enter a business because it
feels there is a future to it.
What is desired among Negroes in
Philadelphia as well as in other cities
where there is a large Negro popula
tion, is a pooling of their money in
a gigantic growing business. There
is need in Philadelphia of a large
race department store, a large fac
tory, and with the large number of
wealthy colored persons, recently
augmented by those coming from the
Southland, there is no reason why
this should not be brought to a real
ization. There are any number of
Negroes here with fortunes ranging
from $50,000 to $200,000, and with the
right leadership in business or com
mercial pursuit these could be pre
vailed upon to put their money to
work.
There is enough money spent on
South street, Philadelphia’s down
town boulevard, in a single night to
capitalize any kind of concern. In
fact, one needs only to walk on South
street to see that nine-tenths of the
spending is done by Negroes, and of
the large number of business estab
lishments along this thoroughfare, the
number owned by race men is negli
gible.
It would seem then that Negroes
are natural-bom spenders. They get
what they want, counting not the
cost. Musically inclined, almost every
colored household has its musical in
strument; yet in the City of Brotherly
Love there is not an up-to-date es
tablishment operated by Negroes,
catering to the musical trade.
A concern has been incorporated to
do business as a department store.
They plan to erect on South street a
large store that wall fill one gap, they
say, in the commercial aspirations of
Negro life. Some race men had made
plans for the opening of a shoe store,
but that fell through, but several
young men (representing one of the
city’s smart social clubs) have ar
ranged tentatively to engage in the
tea and coffee business. This comes
about, it has been said, by the fact
that one of the members has been to
South America, and became interested
in a small way in one of the Brazilian
coffee plantations. That would be a
step in the right direction, and it
brings about the necessity for a care
ful study of the rules of commerce
and trade. Business has been made
a study, but the majority of Negroes
have been contented to “follow suit”.
That is, colored business men have not
heretofore studied trade conditions,
and therefore have not done much on
the expansion basis. Very few Negro
banks have a foreign exchange stand
ing, due no doubt to the fact that we
do (or have done in the past) little
traveling.
When all is said and done though
the great wealth of Negroes repre
sents a splendid record of human ac
complishment, because wealth, after
all, is but the result of human effort
intelligently and properly applied.
And Negroes have not had much
chance to apply their efforts intel
ligently and properly along verv
many lines.
What the Negro needs is more pro
gressive business; more business on
the larger scale; more business look
ing after all the needs of all the mem
bers of our group.
AU the Jews on South street in
Philadelphia, on Seventh street and
Four and a Half street in Washington,
wax fat on Negro trade, but very few
if any Jews buy from Negroes who
are in business on South street in
Philadelphia, or on Seventh street and
Four and Half streets in Washington.
The same is true in many other
places. A Negro who engages in the
larger trade must be a progressive of
I the higher type; he must see the dawn
afar off; he must exercise the qual
ities of adaptability, inventiveness,
and resourcefulness, in business and
in agriculture.
The new Negro in the business and
commercial world sees things from a
different angle. The rising tide of
living is an indicator of the creation
by human hands of more and more
of the things of common use which
serve us; things which secure health
and longer life, and which make life
more worth living while it lasts.
Golden Ankle Chain
Newest Fad in Paris
Paris.—The display of fashions at
the Longchamps races indicated that
skirts are now climbing back toward
the knee, with no guarantee what
ever, of course, that the knee is where
they will stop.
Beauties from all parts of the world
were among the huge crowd at the
track, many of them introducing a
novelty which will doubtless be the
rage In America within a few days
If It Isn't in order tho*e already.
This consisted of a thin gold chain,
worn on the right ankle, outside the
stocking. As far as could be learned
from close scrutiny and some inquiry,
this chain has no use whatsoever.
Simplicity of lines, however, was
observed In most of the brilliant cos
tumes. Coats were of seven-eighths
length with beige the prevailing color.
They were trimmed with furs, which
in many cases represented no more
than ordinary rabbit skins, made up
in Imitation «f various expensive furs
Look Through Walls and
Floors With New X-Ray
Schenectady.—X-ray machines by
means of which one may look through
■olid walls and floors as easily as a
■urgeon or dentist now examines sub
cntaneous parts of his patient's body
have been perfected. The inventors
are Dr. W. D. Coolldge and his asso
ciates In the research laboratory of
the General Electric company here.
The new apparatus, confined In a
box 7 by 8 by 10 Inches and weighing
only 30 pounds, is expected to prove
of great value, especially to plumbers,
building contractors, electricians and
. Jewelers. To use the device it will
I only be necessary to connect an ordl
j nary extension cord to the nearest
lamp socket or base plug of the house
hold lighting system.
Hereafter, the Inventors say, the
man who wishes to hung a picture on
the wall and doesn't know where to
find a solid place to drive a nail will
not have to ruin the wall before find
ing the right spot. The new machine
may also prove a nemesis to smug
glers. By shooting the rays through ;
precious stones the Jewelers would
easily be able to determine the genu
ineness of any Jewel.
Has Many Motors
Des Moines, Iowa.—Iowa has added ■
to Its “corn and hoy” fame, but rath
er in reverse English, with the
announcement of the state automobile
department that on an average 97
counties have more automobiles than
families. The department based the
statement on a communication from
a magazine’s survey of the state.
