 We are thankful to the Chicago Assoclatiorl 
 of Commerce for this statement, as printed in 
 the "Guide to Chicago:" 
 
 "In 1777, there lived in a cabin on the site 
 how occupied by the Kirk Soap Factory, near 
 the corner of Kinzie and Pine streets (North 
 Side), a San Domingo negro trader named Jean 
 Baptiste Pointe De ^aible. This negro occu- 
 pied the cabin for seventeen years, finally sell- 
 ing it to Lemai, a French trader*, who, in turn, 
 Isold it to John Kinzie (for whom Kinzie street 
 is named) in 1804. Jean Baptiste was the first 
 man to acquire title to Chicago real estate, 
 which has held good to this day, and was, for 
 this reason, our first city father — Chicago's first 
 landed citizen."

 THE NEGRO BUSINESS AND WHAT IT 
 MEANS TO THE NEGRO RACE. 
 
 The Negro Business League is a wonderful 
 institution and our ability in recog-nizing- this 
 fact places us in an inferior position as busi- 
 ness men and women. We have not come to a 
 full realization as yet as to its power for good. 
 Wielding a good influence everywhere for the 
 good of man its elemental spirit is true and 
 righteous altogether. First. Because it deals 
 with the spirit of business co-operation a thing 
 not to be despised by any race, a thing most 
 needful among men. Second. We are living in 
 a commercial age and have in the past planned 
 but few things o;- institutions for the commer- 
 cial and practical business training of our chil- 
 dren which should be an imperative mandate 
 to every negro family. Third. We should par- 
 ticularly remind ourselves of this fact that de- 
 pendency has made the negro wards of charity, 
 in a sense, instead of men and women of larger 
 opportunities. From this we must have, and 
 the Negro Business League and the Industrial 
 Institutions, will give a relief. Fourth. We 
 have been sowing and building too much into 
 the cosmos, and not enough into our respective 
 communities. Fifth. We have been violating 
 the economic law by our racial extravagance. 
 We have wrongfully (because of the religious 
 training) permitted our's and the lot of our 
 children, here on earth, to fall into the hands 
 of thoughtful others, while bending all of our 
 energies to establish a home beyond the river. 
 V/e are not so much to blame for this, how- 
 ever; our parents taught us what they knew, 
 and this is all they knew, because of their social 
 environments making an individual kingdom of 
 their own, selfishly as well as ignorantly, ignor- 
 ing the principles of Nature's laws — that "self- 
 preservation is the first law of nature." or the 
 law of progress, "to him that hath, to him more 
 shall be given, and to him that hath not that 
 which he hath shall be taken away." We should 
 not forget that science ri&'htfully used and 
 properly applied, is one of the greatest attrib- 
 utes of civilization, that the ability to govern 
 one's self is the panacea for every" wrong, and 
 the protection from every crime. Negro busi- 
 ness means negro employment. We take it that 
 the Negro Business League is nothing more or 
 
 1 
 
NEGRO BUSJINESS DIRECTORY OF CHICAGO. 
 
 less than a League to advance, enhance, to get 
 and to give negro employment, in every legiti- 
 mate way plausible. It means nothing more oi- 
 less than deliverance from the social, political 
 and economic slavery. If we do not become 
 sincere as a race in developing the moral and 
 industrial status of our children we must expect 
 race degeneration. But we are thankful to Him 
 who created a Booker T. Washington and 
 through him made it possible for the race to 
 come back, slowly, but surely, to its own. 
 
 A FE-IV FACTS. 
 
 There are 75.000 negroes in Chicago. 
 
 They wear over 175,000 pairs of shoes per 
 year, at the rate of $2.00 per pair, costing not 
 less than $350,000. 
 
 We have 20 000 men and 45,000 women and 
 children that spend for sundries, $1,450,000. 
 
 We have 20,000 men and women that spends 
 over $712,000 annually for rum, cigars and 
 tobaccos. 
 
 Our women are spending over $406,000 an- 
 nually for toilet articles. 
 
 There are over 30,000 negroes in this city who 
 pay an average of 10 cents each per day for 
 carfare to the city railroad, whicli is over $3,000 
 per day or $1,068 000 annually.

 dental insurance. 
 
 The Chicago negro is spending over $27,400,000 
 per year. Who is most benefitted by doing so? 
 Who? 
 
 We have some $3,000,000 deposited in the va- 
 rious banks. How much of that amount have 
 we deposited in the two colored banks? Is this 
 asking too much? 
 
 There are 28 saloons owned by colored men in 
 Chicago. 
 
 The negro business men anrl women of this 
 city are giving employment to 1,112 men and 614 
 women. Total, 1.726 persons. They pay them

 The Original Carolinian Jubilee Singers is one 
 of the oldest jubilee companies in existence. It 
 was originally organized in 1SS2 and reorgan- 
 ized in 1891. The musicians now in the company- 
 have sung together for eleven consecutive years 
 and in that time have given over twenty-four 
 hundred concerts. Each member of the com-, 
 pany is a splendid musician and a worthy mem- 
 ber of society, each proud of his untarnished 
 name. They have a repertoire of over three 
 hundred songs and give a program of unusual 
 variety of the old-fashion jubilee songs. For 
 further information, we refer you to the press: 
 comments, such as the Dodge City (Kan.) Press, 
 Iowa (Iowa City) Times, Ladoga (Ind. ) Leader, 
 Standish (Mich.) Press, Rockford (111.) Morn- 
 ing Star, Paris (111.) Daily Beacon, Ashland 
 (Ohio) Press. Vincennes (Ind.) Capital; H. C, 
 Hawks, chairman of the committee, Blooming- 
 ton; E. E. Atherton, secretary, Albany, Wis.; 
 T. B. Worthman, Minooka, 111.; Peru (111.) Her- 
 ald; J. E. Norris, Principal Schools, Muscoda, 
 Wis.; Colorado Springs (Colo.) Gazette, Las- 
 Animas (Colo.) Press, Pueblo (Colo.) Chieftian, 
 Pawnee (111.) Herald; H. M. Doolittle, Murry, la.;. 
 Rev. Frank Vreeland, Chicago, 111.; Mt. Carmel 
 (111.) Republican; J. W. Stokesbury, Pastor M. 
 E. Church, Cumberland, la.; Ottawa (111.) Free 
 Trader. This company is a great credit to the 
 race. It travels in the best Chautauqua circles, 
 in this country. They are doing more to eradi- 
 cate the enmity between the races than any 
 other known agency. They have been and are 
 now singing race interest and brotherly love- 
 and Christian equity in the hearts of the Ameri- 
 can people, singing to ten of thousands of white 
 people at a time. A history of Illinois, written? 
 by an Englishman, has seen fit to give them a 
 place therein. They have stopped at some of 
 the best homes of the greatest lecturers ire 
 America. This company is owned by two Chi- 
 cagoans, Mr. W. R. Carter and Mr. Silas Frazier.
