Totten next introduced Mayor LaGuardia, ‘‘a friend of the com mon people”, who told listeners I hat it had been made perfectly clear "that this was a nonpartisan meeting and therefor^ I can speak in ease. In any gathering of men and women who toil for a living and who have witnessed the pro gress made by the brotherhood in the past fe%r years, would also be non-partisan and for Franklin D. Roosevelt’’- (Lioud Aheers) “I want to tell you all that your great est success was not only in the right to organize, increase wages and gain better working conditions but it was in giving self-respect to every employed Pullman por ter—” Walter White> field secretary of the NAACP took to task William Green for his speech before the brotherhood Sunday at Salem Church in which Green stated "I am against intolerance and racial prejudice as long as I can express myself’.

Walker’s Preparations "I use Mme. C. J. 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-five 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 result of years of experimenting to pro duce the perfect blend to impart a velvethke 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.
