Contacting With Lennox July 29, 1932 Occidental Building & Loan Asso. President, 322 South ISth Street, Omaha, Nebraska. Dear Sir: I am writing you in regards to the employment situation in the north end of Omaha among the Colored citizens; a large number of whom are your ten ants; and some are buying property from you. I am quite sure you had not observed the seriousness of this situation, and perhaps you have not realized to what extent this unfortu nate body of people have been. I have been a customer of yours for the past 8 or 9 years, and I have tried to be very prompt in taknig care of my accounts. I have spent a consid erable large sum with your company; carrying tenants who have paid me • well, or as they should each month when the rent comes due, and they have been doing this for 4 or 5 years. This body of people are not re ceiving the proper consideration they should, in proportion to the amount cf money they spend with these differ ent concerns. When one takes into consideration, corporations such as the Telephone Company, Nebraska Power, i Metropolitan Utilities District, Pax ton & Gallagher, and other businesses that we patronize; representing from i 11,000 to 14,000; which is at least 59e of the city's population; each concern nakes our group “the last to be hired, and the first to be fired” and they stand at the bottom of the list when it comes to being given a fair consid eration, regardless of how they sup port a business. They are human and act similar to any other body of peo ple if given a chance. They are de pendable, appreciative, trusty and fair and are anxious for an oppor tunity to make good. These businesses that they are help ing to fortify, expect the same fee as regular from them, as they do of others, but regardless of qualifications they are given the least consideration. I am sure this body of people have i meant a great deal to your Associa i tion. Many of them are anxious to i save their homes, and will if given an | opportunity. If work wa3 plentiful, matters would be perhaps somewhat different; but wherever there is em ployment, after every other national ity is served, this group is then given consideration, or that which is left; often they are not considered at all. I am sure you realise the same as I, j the more intelligence one has the bet ter equipped he is to prepare himself 1 for the necessaries of life; the more ! comfortable and inviting he can make : his surroundings to guard himself against diseases, and the more de sirous he can fit himself for the situa tion; regardless af nationality. If every man was given a fair chance, there would be no discrimination as to ■ employment or business transactions; no confusions or ill feelings, but every one made happy; not speaking from a social stand point of view, for that is not to be considered. I know that yon have any number of nooses in this community, and perhaps you and several of those empoyed on your staff are members of the Omaha Chamber of Commerce, or some other organization that is banded together for the betterment of the city. I was thinking if there is not some way that you can influence these different cor porations to give this body off people a more fair consideration, in regards to the amount of money they spend with you and other different organiza tions. e shall be happy to know you have given us consideration which is greatly needed; and this perhaps will be a wonderful help to you in keeping your books up to date, and helping any number of property buy ers to hold on. Many businesses have used this body of people as a means to an end. Any number of concerns have given them satisfaction to the extent that “they were going to do,” but this is often the end of such consideration, and no further action is taken on same, and I am appealing to you for a body of people who are not in a posi tion to help themselves and are anx ious for a chance. If there is anything you can do to help better this situation, and bring about a fairer consideration, it will be highly appreciated among this group of people. Thanking you for whatever consid eration you may give, I am Respectfully yours. Dr. G. B. Lennox BUEHLER BROS. MARKETS 212 N. 16th St 4903 So. 24th St. 2408 Cuming St. 24th and Lake Sts.

Dear Sir: We are in receipt of yur letter of July 29, and appreciate the informa tion concerning the situation with re gard to colored citizens. We are of the opinion that the col ored population of Omaha have re ceived the same consideration from us that others have received; that is, we have cooperated in every way we can consistent with good judgment to aid them in caring for their indebtedness. We also have made available to them such positions as have been held by colored people in the past. At the present time our janitor is a colored janitor. The writer uses the services of a colored woman at his residence. If you can give us some specific in stances where the colored people are not receiving the consideration at oar hands, we surely will be pleased to re ceive the information. It might be well for you to outline to us some way in which we may be of assistance to the needy colored population of Oma ha. ■We were pleased to receive your let ter. We believe that you have the good of your race at heart. We un derstand the poverty which exist* with them as well as with a great number of the white race. Very truly yours, Kirk. Griggs, President. The Needy Benefit Association, Twenty-fourth and Patrick streets, was addressed Monday night by Rob ert R. Troyer, public defender. The speech followed a chicken dinner pre pared by the ladies of the organiza tion. Stressing the need for capable men in public office, Public Defender Trov er also urged close attention to the issues in the coming election. He praised Congressman Malcolm Bal drige for his stand on the old age pen sion bill and other measures before Congress, and pointed out that through the Republican party the colored man had gained much of the advance obtained during the last fifty years. Mr. Troyer was elected to the office of Public Defender four years ago, and is candidate for re-election. ELECT JOhN W.
