RACE’S ADVERTISERS
HOUSTON, TEXAS, SATURDAY, JUNE 16, 1923.
NOTING OUR RACIAL PROGRESS.
On Tuesday, June 19, the colored citizens of Texas will celebrate
their fifty-eighth anniversary of freedom, the emancipation proc-
lamation, issued hy the immortal and illustrious Abraham Lincoln,
not becoming effective in this state until June 19, 1865.
During that brief period the black race has made wonderful
progress, not only in the Lone Star State, but in all parts of the
section of the country that formerly held the race in human bond-
age.
Perhaps no race in the world’s history has made the progress
that the former black slaves have made in less than three-score
years, and, when it is borne in mind that this progress and achieve-
ment, in the main, was made in the face of stiff and stubborn op-
position, the result is all the more marvelous and phenomenal.
The race’s greatest headway, during the past fifty-eight years,
has been along religious and educational lines; while in latter years
this group has entered the field of insurance and fraternalism and
won new laurels.
But our economic progress has not been what it should and could
have been, and, at this particular period in our racial career, when
we are taking inventory and a retrospective, introspective and
circumspective view of our accomplishments, we should pledge and
dedicate ourselves to things economic and matters commercial and
thus enter the business field with the same determination, en-
thusiasm, and degree of efficiency and proficiency that have mark-
ed our progress in the educational, religious and fraternal realms.
The almighty dollar is the best known language in America, and
even internationally, it speaks when other tongues have failed and
diplomacy defeated.
The colored race has just cause to feel proud of its record in
this country since its liberation from the shackles and fetters of
slavery, yet past blessings will not suffice.
Life is a continual and continuous game, described very aptly coniposdtj0n was about nine parts cop-j your papers, stay out of those stores
by one as “one blame thing after another,” and the race that wins|per ,0 one of tjn land urge your friends to do likewise,
the trophy or cops the prize must be eternally on the job.
When called upon to defend and protect the interests of others,[world matchless dyes; who alone, be-
the black man has never faltered nor failed, and his record is well
known on a thousand battlefields.
Wouldn’t it he a fine thing if that same spirit were injected into
the commercial and economic life of the colored race?
Just suppose the colored man was half as true and loyal to him-
self as he is to others, what seer or prophet could foretell the in-
calculable good his race and human society would derive from such
deportment?
As we meet in gala occasions throughout Texas on the "June-
teenth,” let this day mean more to us than just a holiday; but
let us resolve to “carry on” and by entering the fields of com-
merce and business win the spurs that we rightly deserve in a
land that is ours both by birth, contributions and sacrifices.
The colored man who is always ready and willing to make ex-
cuses or apologies for his racial connection, is totally unfit and
wholly disqualified to advance the cause of his race and is a racial
hindrance and impediment.
We need to become more engrossed in the more weighty things
of life and pay less heed to the flighty and superficial.
i plied the artisans—not mere unskilled
laborers, but skilled laborers, adept in
carving and moulding. This fact is
recorded in the First Book of Kings,
chapter five. Tyre, founded by Ne-
groes, at this time led the world in
skilful artificers and her manufactured
products were famous the world over.
Hiram, the Tyrian, the Negro, moulded
at the request of Solomon, the bronzes
cast for the temple. (1 Kings 7-13.)
Perfect Dyes.
The dyes of Tyre, especially their
purple dyes, were superior to those
made today by white men. The dye-
ing of silk, wool, linen and cotton was
by a process which gave such luster
and permanence of color that the Ty-
rian purple dye was unequalled.
Glass.
Glass was a well-known product,
though not invented by Negroes, was
made in large quantities.
Pottery.
Pottery was an article of manufac-
ture in which considerable skill was
shown, although the Tyrians were sur-
passed by the Greeks.
Bronze.
Tills was a specialty of the sons of
Ham, as we have seen in the building
of the temple, where Hiram, the skil-
ful worker, cast the bronze articles
for the temple.
The Negro made the pillars Jachim
and Boaz; the molten sea, the bases,
laver and other articles. Their bronze
was of good quality and tempered so
as to serve well for edged tools. The

Later History.
In the first half of the 9th century,
B. C., Tyre became a subject to As-
syria, but her prosperity was not ser-
iously checked, as we may infer from
the Book of Isaiah, the 23rd chapter
The time has arrived for the colored
people to have some racial self-respect
and stop spending their money with
merchants who are base ingrates and
mercantile hoge.

sues of your race newspapers and then
practice the doctrine of business reci-
procity by patronizing only those mer-

carry ads in your journals.
It is a serious reflection upon our
race to continue to enrich men who
do not care a rap for nor appreciate
our trade, and if we would only em-
ploy a little gray matter and make a
few sacrifices by foregoing such pur-
chases, even if they are in the shape
of bargains, and go elsewhere and
