The (jreat Obaticle Removed.'O-:heukmtlysiveIn8euyorbeitivyirecueakak.!The National Mercantile Co. has bestowed a great opportunity for the colored race by appointing Alfred Roberts as general agent for the colored people of Indiana, and where he feels so disposed to work. Our race has been barred from obtaining means everywhere to buy a home, by prejudiced American white people unlessthey owned wonders, and then only by pa} ing 6, 8 and 10 per cent, interest.Buying a home at that rate he pays two prices and double interest, thus weakening his financial conditions, and in case of misfortune loses all he nas paid on his would-be property.The long sought opportunity has come, when every ambitious young man or woman can get most any sumof money to buy or improve property,at only 3 per ceut and twelve years to pay back. Tiiink of it! Save $1.00for each $100.00 you intend to borrow for ten months and I will add balanceto your amount and place same inyour bank, then you are in a position to pay cash for your homes, thereby saving yourself two prices with highinterest. ; \fIt is no longer an excuse to say, ‘There is not a lxan Co. that does not draw the color line.” All that is asked is honesty of the person. The National I.«oan Saving Protection Investment Society is operating in every state in the Union and under the protection of the Interstate Commerce Uws and by grant and license.A Ges.awIt is one o* the strongest loan companies in the world of its age. A Canadian Co., office at Vancouver, B. C. This firm is registered by the Canadian Auditors of Chartered Accounts and for their patrons’ protection have their accounts chartered by of Canadian Government Auditors quarterly. Company’s reference: Royal8 Bank of Canada and The Northern a Crown Bank, Vancouver, B. C., the he two largest banks on the American ms continent. The intention of this com-»ar pany is to enable the poor man to 10l have a home as well as the rich and ch at less cost to him. The plan of loan-lth ing is very simple and has enabled millions of poor people to own a home that otherwise wouid have been a lifetime renter. tu During my experience I have had by k** far more responds from white people than colored. It will certainly pay a to investigate the matter, ell The company is not going around id- begging our race to patronize it, but nd allows every man the opportunity if ud he wishes. Booker T. Washington’s advice to own real estate is good, but ns I advocate now for our young people b to go into business and give needy e girls and boys employment that will be a moral uplift for humanity. The “e colored people have been always de-*8 priVed of financial assistance and if ast he had the money would move the fht world.ur The white race knows the negro has ire more brain and lack of money keeps he him dow’n. Parents quit being stumb-ed- Bug blocks for your children by pay-ing millions each year for rent that ice never comes back to the face. Just think, pay rent for years and then not own a shingle on the roof. Now is the time to seek tv save that rent .money and invest it to your advantage. Don’t satisfy yourself by saying this ler is a fake before investigating, nd Owing to the present race segrega-ry tion the whole race will suffer a terrible blow if the colored people don’t of open enterprises for the employment ay of their sons and daughters, because Pullman porters, waiters, men in the civil service, etc., are being discharged for various frail excuses such as tuberculosis, etc. Further information regarding loans will be given for the er* asking.
