INDIANAPOLIS V'ISITOR
ADDRESSES MEMBERS OF
BUSINESS MEN’S CLUB
Attorney Robert L. Brokenburr of
Indianapolis gave an ereellent address
to a number of business and profes
sional men Monday noon at the Col
ored Commercial Club. He spoke of
his very favorable impression of Om
aha, upon his first visit, from the
courtesy received at the hands of all
with whom he had come in contact.
He told of several successful business
men in Indianapolis who had risen
from meagre beginnings to recognized
merchants in their lines. He said that
business men ought not aim at being
“Colored Business Men”, but Colored
Men in Business”, making their busi
ness of such a character that it would
appeal to all. He stressed the neces
sity of "Co-operation”. He said we
must talk, live, eat and drink, if you
please “co-operation” until it becomes
an obsession with us. His speech
made a most favorable impression.
