The plaintiff, E. H. Hilson. came
to Antioch Baptist church from
Omaha. Nebraska. where it is said
he buili a fine church. The defend- |
ant James Young. is rentted as be
iis wenlthy and owns very
valuable property in the Negro
business section on North Second
Street. Young is alleged to have
said that the plaintiff, Hilson,
“proke up his home.” It is upon

Is it really so that a southside

teacher of the first, second and the

led to a search of hospitals., under

result that no official trace could
be found of the incident that was
supposed to have occurred just be

Miss Lambert taught her classes
as usual and the best information
available is that the tale was put
out by some prankster who had a
solemn mien but a poor sense of

IS OPENING
BIRMINGHAM, Ala., Jan. 6—
With more than one third its en

of members of the fairer sex, the
school for idsurance salesman
sponsored by the Atlanta Life In
surance company to stimulate and
increase knowledge in salesman
‘ship. especially as applied to in
surance, got under way Monday
lnis:ht at seven o'clock in the agents
room of the company on the Sixth
'floor of the Colored Masonic Tem
| ple under the direction of a staff of
l expert instructors.
That the company has no s;(:]fish!
motives in giving this course, clas
ses in which will be held every
Monday and Wednesday evening
for the next six weeks, is clearly
shown by the fact that three em
ployees of the E. A. Bradford fune
ral home and insurance company
are enrolled in the course. Mr |
Bradford, who was present opening
night, expressed his confidence in
the company's program and policy
in a few brief words and stated
that he believed that his agents
- would dervive considerable bencfits
from their instruction.
| Mr. J. T. Harrison, manager of
the Birmingham branch for t':w‘
‘pnst twenty vears, explained thu}
purpose of the course. emphasying
the need for a broader and more
sympathetic understanding of the
meaning c¢f insurance and its bene
fits to the comrmunity regardless of
{ whether or not those taking the
{ course intended to make life in
! surance their future vocation or
(; not.
Mr. O W. Adams. editor of the
Birmingham Reporter, in a short
forceful address. stressed the value
i of preparation for selling one’s pro
i duct in order that the salesman

| that is necessary to put his talk
! across. “When the Negro is able to

The advantage of quality presen

Include EVERYBODY,
Mr. Advertiser:
Mr. Advertiser, in checking ov er your income for 1931, do vou
find you made all the money you wanted? .
If your income was not what it should have been, what reason
can you find for this shortage? Does the depression tell the
whole story.
In other words. did vou make any special consistent effort to
sell your merchandise or services to the NEGROES in your sales
area?
Negroes buy some of everything sold. If they bought only a
small amount or none at all of your commoditv, you alone are
resnonsible.
Resolve, in 1932, to get vour nortion of the business in this rich,
virgin soil. Tell them what vou have, let them know vou sell what
thev buy.
Obviously, the only sure way of appealing to Negroes is through
Negro newspapers. The prospective colored buver, reading an ad
vertisement in a paper published, printed and edited by members
of his own race, feels that those back of this advertisement
really want his business.
Don’t expect one advertisement in a hitherto untouched field
to null them all in head over heels. Negroes are like everybhody
else. Keep your message before them and you will make them
th ink your way just as you have your white customers.
So if you are lookine for increased income in 1932, tan the Ne
oo field. Let The World show you how. Get in touch with one of
our advertising representatives and learn the best wav of reach
ing the mass of Negro buyers at the least cost.
Are you interested, Mr, Advertiser? : .
