The vital need for Negro representation in this field was wholeheartedly sanctioned by
Mr. A. Diamond, Vice President of Diamond Chemical Co., with one stipulation . . .
“Chet, it must be productive in dollars and cents or neither of us will survive”
No march on City Hall, Mississippi, or Great-Neck, L.I., can prevent this. The only
preventive measure is a new awareness of our Harlem. Bedford Stuyvesant, and Pros
pect Ave. DOLLAR! Mr. Fuller, of the Fuller Cosmetic Co., recently stated, “More
Negroes should enter the lucrative selling fields.”
The question now is, “Can they afford it”? “WILL YOUR BUYING DOLLAR CREATE
MORE MR. FULLERS OR AT LEAST A MAN FROM DIAMOND?”
When this question is answered ... WE SHALL OVERCOME . . and as one of our
leaders said,
’GREAT GOD ALMIGHTY FREE AT LAST!”
