Mrs. Rosetta Walker, reporter Now If You Have $500 you can Move to Liberia (Continued from page 1) through the cooperative system. My scheme has been submitted to His Excellency, President Edwin Barclay of Liberia, and has met with gracious approval. He has granted an entire township Ion which wo can build and establish ourselves. “We need honest, industrious, race-loving people. People who aro interested in nation building. We need men who feel and can t prove themselves men among men because of the act that.&his is a tropical country, and for the good of all concerned—people from Southern States and those with a 1 West Indian background will be ho best fitted for the task of pioneering at this time. But bear in mind that tiho government and tha people of Liberia welcome every black tran who is cap*bit of taking care of himself.

Walker's preparations exclusively be cause I get results from them that I am unable to get from any other preparation,” stated a well known business woman the other day. The secret of the remarkable success of Mme. C. J. Walker's preparations is in the fact that they were blended by the late Madam C. J. Walker to reach certain definite conditions of the hair, skin and scalp, and today, after over thirty-five years on the market, they are growing increasingly popular, and not withstanding the fact that the Company has always refused to reduce the price on these goods, they are still in demand every where. Mme. C. J. Walker's Glossine, although more than thirty-live years on the market, is still the leader in its field. The reason for this is because it not only serves as a scalp oil, but it gives the hair that silky sheen and natural gloss that is the delight of every woman. Mme. C. J. Walker's Brown Face Powder is not just another Face Powder, but is the rcsuK of years of experimenting to pro duce the perfect blend to impart a velvetlike softness and at the same time cooling and refresh ing. Just the thing for these hot days. The Mme. C. J. Walker's won derful preparations are sold by Walker Beauticians and Drug Stores everywhere, or you can write The Mme. C. J.'Walker Mfg.
