The luxurious Army Ground and Service Forces Redistribution Station in Atlantic City, N. J., is geared to process 2,500 Overseas returnees a week. Set up in December, 1944, to determine the military job for which each returnee is best fitted according to his skill
ar.d physical condition, the elaborate project is a proven success. Ask any GI tvho has been there. Responsible for this success is Colonel James G. Cooper (inset, center photo), veteran infantryman of 28 years’ service, who insists on equal treatment for all GIs, re
gardh •'•» of race, creed or color. Nothing has been spared at the station in providing the returnees with every recreational activity that ingenuity can provide. Left photo shows returnees and their wives making good use of the arts and crafts room, located in rear of the
library. All materials are furnished by the Army. Center photo shows the Hotel Dennis, home of the AG and SF Redistribution Station. In right photo, GI rug-cutters swing into the groove in the lower lobby of the Hotel Dennis, where jive holds sway between four and
fve o’clock daily. (U. S. Army photos from Bureau of Public Relations.)

The Glidden Paint Company
Recognizes Negro Market
The Glidden Company^ manufac
turers of Spred-the quality water
new paint-recognizing the great
buying power of the Negro has
made a strong bid for his business
by signing an advertising contract
with a Negro advertising company.
Mr Elmer L. Weber, Advertising
Manager of the Glidden Company,
is shown (right) signing the con
tract with Davis-White-Diake, Inc.
advertising agency in Cleveland,
Ohio, while Mr. Luther R. White
*
secretary of the organization
looks on.
Mr White says that his agency i*
fully aware that this is the first
time in the history of America that
one of the world’s largest paint
companies has placed any of its
advertising in the hands of a Negro
agency.
To attract the Negro public, a
series of ads designed to be intense
ly interesting to it. and advertising
Spred, the Glidden Product, has
been placed in Negro newspapers
throughout the country. Each ad
describes some little known but
outstandingly important contribu
tion of the Negro such as the mak
ing of the first clock in America by
Benjamin Banneker a Negro schol
ar who lived in Baltimore; and the
invention of the first shoe making
and assembling machine by Joseph
Matzeliger. also a Negro> which is
the forerunner of all the highly
diversified shoe manufacturing
machinery and is still manufactur
ed today.
Mr White is justifiably proud of
this contract to advertise Giidden’s
Spred but admits that his agency
handles other nationally advertised
products such as Proctor & Gambles
Duz and Oxydol, and Standard Oil's
gasoline and oil products
Surely the Neg-o's economic pow
er is gaining recognition and res
pect Rimer Weber of Tne Glidden
Company and Luther White or
Davis-White-Drake. above, are tak
ing a significantly long step in the
direction of economic democracy
