Wig Wearing Stirs Up A
Harlem Picketing Battle
AMSTERDAM NEWS
Sat, Sept. 14, 1DB3• »
By THOMASINA NORFORD
There was the battle of the
Bulge, the battle of Normandie
Beach, to say nothing of the
battle of Bataan in the Phil-
lipines but they are minor com
pared to the “battle of the wig
pickets’* on W. 125th Street.
A plush wig shop opened re
cently with all colors, types,
terms to get them and with all
conveniences provided. It ap
peared that no one would have
to go wigless no matter for
what reason one wanted to wear
a wig.
However with the opening
came the “anti wig" group with
appropriate picket signs to state
their position on wig wearing.
The “pro wig wearers’* counter
ed with pickets and signs to
match and the battle (or show,
as the case might be) was on.
No Horse’s Tails
The “anti wig wearers” who
were first on the scene carried
a sign saying "Don't be a Jack
ass, be natural,** another ad
monished “Black women are
beautiful. They don’t need white
women’s discarded hair to make
them beautiful;” another warn
ed "If the hair is phony, the
chances are the body is too.”
However the anti wiggers seem
ed to be at their most dramatic
best when they resorted to pic
tures with the slogans. One photo
was of a lady who had very
little forehead, very small eyes
and lips the likes of which one
has never seen, except perhaps
on the Ubangl women who go in
for beauty aid of making large
lips which is their status symbol,
and the artists had painted the
lady a blue black. He had added
blonde straggly, unstyled hair of
type usually shown in Tobacco
Road and normally found in the
social circles of the Ozark moun
tains. This lady carried the slo
gan **No Congo blondes.”
No Zulu Redheads
Another work of art was one
of essentially the same lady,
but this time the artist had add
ed red hair and the slogan was
"No more Zulu redheads.”
Another went further to add
"Our womeu are beoutiful with
out some dead crackers hair or
horses tail."
But then the “pro wig wearers”
arrived with their signs which
presumably they thought spoke
for themselves and needed no
art work to enhance them. ,.
Their signs said “No naan wants
a wife who looks like his broth
er." Ask the girl who wears
one;’’ “I decided for myself, Why
don’t you” and one picketeer
advised "Promise her anything,
but give her a wig.” Another
was provocative in its statement
“We’re not the only store that
sells wigs. Why picket us” and
then the easy sell with "If it
looks good, wear it." Try a wig
and see”

Purity and Uniformity Assured \
The quality control exercised by Schenley over all
its products is another very impressive facet of the *
over-all operation. Purity and uniformity are assured ■
by a set of production controls unmatched in the in-
i dustry — on all Schenley products as well as for pres
tige brands such as Schenley Reserve, Ancient Age,
I. W. Harper, and Melrose Rare. Chemical research
| keeps continually abreast on any industry develop-
I ments and their values are carefully appraised.In addi-
1 tion to their individual quality control centers in each
plant, Schenley maintains quality control headquart
ers in New York, in its Cincinnati production center
and a quality research laboratory at its distillery center
in Lawrenceburg, Indiana.
Through my eyes, Schenley is the leader in its in-1
dustry and I’d like to express my appreciation to'
George for the opportunity to offer these personal opin
ions and observations on one of my favorite subjects.

Question
By selling two more tomatoes
for 15 cents, the price of tomatoes
would be diminished by $2 per
hundred. What is the price of
each tomato?
Answer
Five cents each. Let X equal
number originally sold for 15
cents. Form equation: 100 times
15/X equals 100 times 15 over
(X plus 2) plus 200. Divide re
sult, 3 into 15.
