This convention is one of the best evidences of the race’s advancement. Who would have dreamed, fifty years ago—yes, even twenty years ago, that a manufacturing concern composed exclusively of Negroes would have grown to the extent that it would find it necessary to call their traveling men together at its general office to discuss the many business problems? We are informed that carefully prepared papers were read by each salesman from day to day, which were followed by general discussions. Some of the subjects covered are as follows:
“Salesmanship.”
“Meeting Competition.”
“How to Finance the Corporation, etc.”
My! My! Just think of it—Negroes assembled and seriously discussing, “How to Finance a Corporation.” Surely the world “do” move. Success to you, boys! Come to Chicago again. You are welcome!
BEAUTY HINTS
“Good Spirits Make Good Looks”
The Care of the Skin
Every woman wants to be considered good looking, even though she is not beautiful. Our features need not be perfect to be beautiful; it is a rare thing to find a face on which every feature is perfect, yet there are many beautiful women in the world. It is possible for every woman to be good looking. Now, just what do we mean by good looking? Many of us have the idea that good clothes make us beautiful, but this is a mistake. What is a more disgusting sight than a woman dressed in fine clothes and in contrast her face showing a muddy, neglected and abused complexion? A pleasing expression is requisite to the beautiful face, but it is impossible to have a set rule for the cultivation of a good disposition, because of the variation in our individual personalities. However, I will suggest a few things that will help to make us more beautiful.
