PICNIC TONIGHT TO GRAND LODGE U.B.F. & S.M.T. BLOOMFIELD PARK TRANKLIN'S PAPER THE STATESMAN State Historian & Natura History Society TWENTIETH YEAR DENVER, COLORADO, SATURDAY AUGUST 7 1909 FIVE CENTS A COPY WARM WELCOME FOR OUR SOLDIER NOT since the outbreak of the Spanish-American war. May, 1898, has the patriotism of the Afro-American population of New York been stirred to such tension as was manifested upon the return of the Tenth United States cavalry from the Philippine Islands. The army transport Kilpatrick, bearing the regiment, arrived at New York Sunday, July 25, after a successful voyage of seventy days. Through the good offices of General Leonard Wood, commander of the department of the army of the east on Governors island, New York, the regiment was permitted to stop a day in New York to receive the welcome and hospitality of the Afro-American citizens. Thousands visited the transport from the time it landed until just before the time set for the parade Monday morning. The citizens' committee having charge of the arrangements consisted of J. Frank Wheaton, the Rev. W. H. Brooks, F. Q. Morton, D. E. Tobias, Edward E. Lee, Captain Harvey A. Thompson, J. C. Thomas and Mrs. A. C. Cowan as officers. There were also on the committee representatives from Brooklyn, N. Y., and Jersey City, N. J. All along the line of march could be heard such expressions as: "Here they come!" "The fighting Tenth!" "They saved Roosevelt's life at San Juan Hill!" At 10:45 o'clock the bugle call for the "assembly" was sounded by the bugler of the regiment aboard the transport. Immediately all was bustle. Enlisted men on the dock hurriedly bade their friends goodby and rushed aboard for their arms and accouterments. Such was the discipline of the regiment that at 10:55 o'clock the troops were assembled under their officers in marching order on the pier. The crowd that had gathered in South and lower Wall streets by this time had become enormous, and the services of fifty men under Inspector Boetler of the traffic squad were necessary to keep them from interfering with the line of march at the outset. Promptly at 11 o'clock the bugle call for the start of the parade was sounded, and as the escort of five mounted traffic officers in charge of Sergeant Stokum headed the procession, of which the officer in command was General Leonard Wood, commanding the department of the red RETURN OF THE TENTH CAVALRY fore the dept from Manila.

Captain Harvey A. Thompson was marshal of the day. Upon the arrival of the cavalrymen at the Sixty-ninth regiment armory they stacked arms, rested, enjoyed the excellent music of the New Amsterdam band for awful and then repaired to the dining room, where they enjoyed their well earned dinner and received the greetings of all who could get in hand shake of them. The literary program began about 4:45. The address of welcome was delivered by Mr. J. Frank Wheaton. ment marched out into the southern end of Wall street. The police arrangements were admirable, and as the troopers marched up Wall street it was between a dense wall of people who filled every available space on the sidewalks and even encroached into the roadway. Cheer after cheer greeted the men as they swung from platoon into fours front where the crowd was too pressing and the marching space too narrow to avail of the larger formation. Again as they obeyed the command, "Left front into line; double time," the plaudits of the spectators well rewarded the marchers. Up Wall street, past the subtreasury, with every inch of its stairway and portico covered with human beings, the "Fighting Tenth" marched to the music of their famous band. At the turn into Broadway the crowd was even more dense and the applause even louder, but with a look neither to the right nor to the left, only with the idea of keeping a perfect alignment, the 900 men back from service in the Philippines in platoon front swung to the right side of the thoroughfare and passed on their way to the city hall, where they were reviewed by Mayor George B. McClellan and President of the Board of Aldermen McGowan. When the last troop of the regiment had passed before the reviewing officer the march to the Sixty-ninth regiment armory was in progress, where the members of the "Fighting Tenth" fraternized with the members of the fighting Sixty-ninth of civil war fame.

The Mutual and Provident Insurance Company at Durham the Largest Among Afro-Americans in the United States----Success Due to the Honesty and Capability of Its Officers. While it is a fact that the greatest financial progress made by Afro-Americans during the first score of years after freedom was along the line of secret and benevolent organization work, the past twenty years have wrought a wonderful change in the direction of the efforts of the race along financial and business lines. The spirit 6 or industrialism. the progress of education. the desire for securing homes and the necessity for co-operating to successfully engage in business have given the race a broader vision of the moral responsibilities of life, so that to-day all over the United States are to be found successful business enterprises conducted JOHN MERRICK. by Afro-Americans. The secret society as such is becoming secondary to business, hence the rapid strides which our people are making in the industries are giving them standing in the commercial world. An organization which is giving employment to hundreds of men and women of the race besides affording other financial protection is the North Carolina Mutual and Provident association, whose headquarters are at Durham. The credit for the organization and stupendous growth of this company is due practically to three men, viz: Messrs. John Merrick, A. M. Moore and C. C. Spaulding, who have made many self-sacrifices to build up this great insurance company for the mutual protection of our people. The receipts of the company for the first year's business, 1899, were $840; for 1908, $187,136. The cause of this steady and surprising growth is due to the confidence which the people have in the honesty and integrity of the men at the head of the business. New Honor For Miss Johnson. Story of the Rise of an Orphan Girl From Obscurity to Prominence as a Religious and Literary Worker, Governess and Assistant In Public | Library. By N. B. DODSON. Miss Violet A. Jobitson, who was Tecently appointed assistant in the Cotuit Public library at Summit, N. J.. is a native of Wilmington, N. C., in which city she received her early edu- cation. Being left motherless when quite young, she was thrown upon her own resources at a time when the care and protection of parents are Most needed. But, being possessed of strong will power and high aspira- tions, she made her way up through difficulties and many vicissitudes until she grew to womanhood. About the first position which Miss Johnson held requiring both tact and education was that of assistant teacher in one of the mission schools of the Woman's Mis- stonary society of Chicago, which was directed by Miss M. E. Doffins of Pittsburg, Pa, She remained in the employ of the society for eight years. Her work gave general satisfaction, and her salary, which at the begin- ning was only $10 per month, was in- creased from time to time as the work f Oe), 4 ; e . € id eee - mee _ ee eit . a ! orn is eae 4 mg ia bee Nr * eo ve ‘MISS VIOLET A.

Burdett, the president. appoint- ed Miss Johnson on the program to speak, she being the only Afro-Ameri- can woman to address thousands which gathered in Tremont temple on that occasion. Miss Johnson also worked a portion of the eight years of her employ with the society in Brook- lyn. N. Y. While there she joined the Concord Baptist Church of Christ and was subsequently appointed as a teacher in the Sunday school, and as Such she was ofe of the most faithful and efficient. She wns one of the founders of the Young ‘Woman's Cul- ture club of Brooklyn. which for s number of venrx met reeuluriy for the THE STATESMAN, DENVER, COLORADO. “Study aud discussion of prominent: American and English authors. While in Brooklyn Miss Johnson accepted the position of governess and house- keeper in the family of Mrs. J. H. Eg gers nt Summit, N. J., which she has held for a number of years. When Miss Johnson went to Sum- mit there was no church for our people in that aristocratic little town. Seeing the need of a place of worship for the many persons of our race residing there, she made it possible for the starting of a little Baptist mission. which, guided by her fostering care and most the time personal support. has grown into a regular Baptist cburch, recognized by and a member of the New England Baptist missionary convention. Having a genial dispost- tion, willing and obliging, Miss Jobn son has won for herself a host of friends who lavish upou her their love and confidence. She is both worthy and deserving of the new honor which has come to her at the hands of her Caucasian friends at Summit. who feel that she has merited the position. When B. T. Washington Dies. The only statue in New York city of a colored man is a figure of St. Rene. dict the Moor over the entrance of St. Benedict's chureb in Fifty-third street. Strictly it is not a statue, but a figure A prominent Negro of New York said when his attention was called to this: “The question of erecting a statue to one of our race would have been set- tled long ago if Booker Washington had not come up when he did. There was 4 movement on foot to erect one to Frederick Douglass, but when Booker Washington began doing so much for the race it was thought best to defer the statue, for when Washington dies. and may that time be far off, he will bave a memorial worthy of his work. and it will be put where everybody ip this great clty can see It.” GRAND MUSICAL RECITAL. Brilliant Coterie of Young Artists De- light Ansonia Audience. The recital given by Miss Pearl Elise Tatten, soprano, at the City Hall Auditorium, Ansonia, Conn., recently was attended by au audience of 240 persons, one of the largest that ever gathered at an affair of the kind in that assembly room. Miss Tatten was very ably assisted by Mrs. Elijah But- ler of New Haven, elocutionist; Ralph Howurd of Boston, violinist, W. Rob insun Tatten of Bridgeport. basso; F. Lathrop Tatten, tenor, and Miss V. Josephine Muse, pianist. Miss ‘Tatten is possessed of a re markably sweet soprano voice, which has often delighted local audiences and congregations of the First Baptist church, where Miss Tatten is a solvist. She received many encomiums, and her audience manifested its pleasure by awarding her enthusiastic ap plause. Mrs. Butler in her elocutionary work was excellent, and the applause she received was well merited. She was down on the program for two vuw- bers, “The Face on the Floor’ and “Sandy's Romance.” It was Mr. How: ard’s first appearance in Ansonia, and he proved himself to be a skillful per- former on the violin. He played witb expression, and his technique left notb- ing to be desired. He hus had the ad. vantage of a training 4n bis art at the New England Conservatory of Music. The Misses Tatten were in excellent voice, and their numbers were well sung. Miss Mure, both as accompa: nist and ip her solo and duet work with Miss Tatten. deserved tha ap- dlanse she received EDUCATIONAL PROGRESS. Afro-Americans Preparing For Future Self Help—Miss Holsey an Example. No more encouraging sign of the great educational awakening which is being manifested among the young men and women of the race than the large number which was enrolled in the industrial, technical and special classes in the various schools during the past year. We are glad to see that they are breaking away from the old taistaken idea of seeking the position first and preparing to fill it after se- curing it. The young Afro-American of the present time has many rare op- portunities open to him for study and self help which were formerly with- held from him. Within the past ten years there has been a steady increase Y XQ Y ag wer) sie sa tae ‘aa MISS DAISY M. HOLSFY. in educational facilities for all classes, and the Afro-American has not been slow to fall in line and take his share. Young men and young women’s Chris- Uan associations with their industrial and educational courses have been and are a blessing to our people. The night schools conducted by the board of education In the large cities have also been a great factor In helping those who could not attend the day classes. Miss Daisy M. Holsey, an ambitious young woman of engaging manners, has been studying elocution at the Lexington avenue branch of the Brooklyn (N. Y.) Young Women's Christian association for the past two years. Under the careful tutorship of Miss Helen Murphy, who Is a read- er of known ability, Miss Holsey has made rapid progress in her chosen line. She expects to enter the profes- sional class this fall, where she will take advanced studies in elocution be- fore making ber debut as a profes- sional redder.—Dodson, Similarity of Racial Conditions; A noted writer on economic and po litical questions at De Aar, South Af- rica, writing to the Review of Reviews of Australia on the native question in South Africa recently, said among other things: “That which applies to conditions in the southern states of America will also apply with equal force to conditions here. Only a short time ago when the question of the white and black races was being dis- cussed by one of the leading legislators with a Bantu the latter said, ‘When you do well to us. you do well to your selves.’ This sums up the philosophy of the whole matter.” PAGE. 10. HARRIET TUBMAN HOUSE. Maintained by Voluntary Contributions and Managed by Soston Women. By Mrs. M. C. SIMPSON. The Harriet Tubman House at Bos- ton bas moved into new quurters at 25 Holyoke street, which has been recently fit- ted up and fur- nished by the managers os their own property. The house was established by a number of nota- ble Afro-Amer- iean women, members of the Women’s Chris- tian Temperance union, who have made many sac- rifices for its maintenance i Ing the past five years. The house , a | Gey = | ne 4 i A as OS ee ee home for the many young women who go to Boston as strangers from various parts of the United States. It is the only home of {ts kind in the city which is Incorporated under the laws of the state. The work Is car- ried on by voluntary contributions, and it is not under the management of any particular religious denomination. The managers expect to open classes in the various domestic lines, such as cooking, sewing, laundering, etc. as soon as sufficient funds are in hand to carry on the work. Ten thousand dollars will pay off the balance due on the bnilding and furnish the house completely. All donations will be a source of encouragement to the hoard of managers and a blessing to many homeless and often friendless girls of the race. The matron, Mrs. Cornelia Robinson, is most éfficient and much beloved by all the girls. The treasurer is Mra. M. E. A. Gleason, president of the S8uf- folk County W. C. T.

TRAINING OF TURKESTAN GIRL "Education" That Seems to the Western Mind to Be of Little Real Value. Dismounting before the uplrolled felt door of one of the round tents, I peered into the smoke-blackened interior, and found an old white-turbaned "khoja" teaching three rosy-cheeked little girls to read. "How is this?" I asked in Turki, surprised at such a reversal of Mohammadan customs. "Aren't there any boys in this camp?" "Oh, yes," answered the teacher, with a shrug of his shoulders; "but what can we do? We are poor. The boys must be off tending the sheep." The pretty, black-haired girls were evidently a rich man's daughters, for the broad brims of their caps were made of imported fur, and their shapeless gowns were of red, green and yellow silk, woven in preposterous flowery patterns. I asked one of them to read where I pointed. She did not even glance at the book, but began reciting something as fast as possible. It was the day's passage from the Arabic Koran, which neither she nor her teacher understood. That was the extent of her education.—Ellsworth Huntington in Harper's Magazine. THE STATESMAN.

The Negro's destiny is in his own hands and no one else's, and it is up to him not to wait to be lifted up by some one else or race, but he must do so himself by pious and useful living. He must make himself an agreeable citizen by doing his whole duty as a man and a citizen, own property, get an education, learn industry, pay his taxes, uncover crimes committed by any of his race and learn to obey the laws. Don't go about always complaining about this and that; this is a wide world and plenty to do in it. Let us get busy and know our place and stay in it—Natchez Weekly Record. Elks Seeking Reconciliation. At the annual election of officers of Brooklyn lodge, No. 32, Improved Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks of the World, held at Sumner hall, Brooklyn, N. Y., recently, Benjamin Williams, a prominent Republican politician, was re-elected exalted ruler. All of the old officers were re-elected except those who held the positions of lecturing knight and loyal knight. Six delegates were elected to attend the grand lodge convention, which will convene at Detroit, Mich., in August. A conference of the exalted rulers of the east was held in New York a few days ago to arrange for the convention at Detroit. The perfecting of a basis union which will bring the two factions together will be one of the most important propositions that will come before the convention. One faction is led by Grand Exalted Ruler Howard, the other by the principal lodges of New York, New Jersey and Connecticut. Respect For Negro Genius. Tennessee has put the ban on Negro Elks. We never expected anything else. Our people will learn sense yet. White men organized the Elks, and if they object what right have Negroes to attempt to butt in? We have more respect for that ignorant Negro who goes out and organizes an order and selects every letter in the alphabet to make up the initials of its name than we have for that wise Negro who attempts to get into the white man's order by fraud and deception. We have never heard of the Mosales, Friendships or Knights of Tabor having to enjoin white men from using their name or works. The white people know that the Negroes do not want them in these orders, and they are not making themselves obnoxious by trying to steal them.--Mosaic Guide. for Pomade for the Hair When you can get it here in Denver at the 1008 15th St., Denver, COLO.

PAGE.10 The Elks of Denver, and for that matter of the whole Rocky Mountain region, will have a most capable representative at the Grand Session, which meets in Detroit next week, in the person of Richard Frazier, who has been for two terms the Grand District Deputy for Colorado, Utah and Montana. He left Thursday, going by way of Chicago, where he will join the Chicago Elks and their special train. Mr. Frazier is a past Exalted Ruler of Parker Lodge of Pueblo, and is the Grand Representative of Rice Lodge of this city. He was a charter member of Parker Lodge, the first of this order to be set up in the West, and is an enthusiastic Elk. He is especially pleased to be present at the coming session, which is easily the most important in the history of the Order. At the Detroit meeting it is expected that the committee's report looking to the consolidation of the Howard and Atkins factions will be adopted and arrangements made for a first-class endowment department. No little attention will be given also to the persecution which the colored Elks are receiving at the hands of the whites. So far it is a drawn battle with the whites victorious in the Southern courts and the negroes in the Northern. A fund of $20,000 has been raised for legal defense and the outcome still is to be seen. Mr. Frazier, after the Grand Session, will go to Washington, his birthplace, and visit his father and sisters, and also a sister in Philadelphia. Chicago will detain him one week on his way back home. It goes without saying that Colorado will be on the map of Elkdom, for the wide acquaintance and geniality of Mr. Frazier will make him "next" to the men worth while. Then, too, he has the quiet way of doing things that counts so much in deliberative assemblies. In the 30 years that he has made Colorado his home, he has borne the universal reputation of being strictly on the square and the antlered herd cannot but find his Colorado reputation a true indication of his worth. He is one of the proprietors of the Newport saloon, located at 1845 Arapahoe street, which is easily one of the best-conducted emporiums in the West. Its quiet, its excellence in both goods and service is common knowledge in this city. POCATELLO, IDAHO. Mrs. Marie Pierson of this city departed this life at Madison Barracks, N. Y., uJly 17th. The deceased was born in Greensborough, Ky., October, 1880. At the age of nine years she connected herself with the church and proved to be a good Christian woman. In Mrs. Pierson's death the husband has lost a good and true wife, the people of this city and the A. M. E. church a true friend and faithful member. Among the relatives who mourn her demise are Mr. and Mrs. G. M. Pierson and R. Williams of this city, Mrs. Kate and A. Parks of New York, Mrs. Susan Pierson, Miss Ella Pierson and C. W. Pierson of Cheyenne, Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Bushnell of Denver. FOR RENT—Large front room in modern house at 2417 Ogden street. Phone White 169. FOR RENT.

Phone Main 6123. 1023 19th Street warm Welcome to Soldier Boys and logic it was a masterpiece. in his speech of welcome to the soldiers on benair of the city, Acting Mayor McGowan said: "I consider this one of the proudest privileges of my life. Although I have welcomed thousands of organizations to the city of New York, I have never welcomed a body of men who have made such a splendid record as has the Tenth cavalry. In the countries of the old world a man may be esteemed for what he has done or only for what his ancestors have done. In our country, unfortunately, where so many races are thrown side by side, the bad actions of one or two men will throw discredit on a whole race. "It's a bad rule that doesn't work both ways. I want to say to you that you men have raised your race higher in the esteem of the people of the United States than it ever was before. You have done more to kill the prejudice of some of our citizens than anything else ever could. We welcome you to New York with open arms. "If the people of Vermont don't treat you as you ought to be treated," said the acting mayor, "you come right back here to New York. You will find us ready to receive you, and we will make your life one grand holiday. You have the respect of our people, not alone those of this city, but of all the country. Any man who wears the uniform of the United States army is entitled to that respect. "You have performed valiant service to your country, and it can never be forgotten. God bless you all!" Other speakers were the Rev. R. C. Ranson, Dr. W. L. Hunter, George E. Wlbecan, J. D. Wetmore, A. B. Cosey, and C. W. Anderson. In the evening the soldiers were entertained at the Harlem River Casino. EXTRACT FROM REGIMENTAL REM INISCENCES. The Tenth United States cavalry was organized in the year 1896-7 with Brevet Major General B. H. Grierson as colonel. The rendezvous was established at Fort Leavenworth, Kan. General Grierson in taking leave of the regiment nearly twenty-two years afterward at Santa Fe, N. M., upon being assigned to command of the department of Arizona, Dec. 1, 1888, alludes in orders No. 51 to the services rendered by officers and men as follows: "Always in the vanguard of civilization and in contact with the most warlike and savage Indians of the plains, the officers and men have cheerfully endured many hardships and privations and in the midst of great dangers steadfastly maintained a most gallant and zealous devotion to duty, and they may well be proud of the record made and rest assured that the hard work undergone in the accomplishment of such important and valuable service to their country is well understood and appreciated and that it cannot fail sooner or later to meet with due recognition and reward." The theater of military operations embraced the vast territory of Kansas, Texas, Indian Territory, New Mexico and Arizona, and from the organization until coming to Montana in May, 1892, there was scarcely a month of idleness. General Grierson was promoted to the grade of brigadier general April 15, 1890, and was succeeded in command of the regiment by Brevet Brigadier General John Kemp Mizner, who still exercises his commission. Twenty-five Years of Success. The annual meeting of the Grand Fountain of the United Order of True Reformers, whose headquarters are at Richmond, Va., will take the form of a quarter of a century celebration this year. There will be three great meetings held, the first of which was held at Richmond, Aug. 3. The second will be held at Cincinnati, Aug. 24, and the third at Washington, Sept. 6.

By request of our many friends who could not attend the Olympia Band Boy's uniform fund entertainment. Wednesday, July 28, at Bloomfield Park, on account of the storm, and as we did not make enough to pay off our indebtedness, we will repeat our entertainment by giving the opening grand carnival ball of the season Thursday, September 16, at East Turner Hall. This entertainment should appeal to every member of the race, as we intend making this the best band in the West, and one that you will not be ashamed of. We hope that the secret organizations will take an active part in making this entertainment a success, for you know too well the need of a firstclass band in Denver from experience with inferior music. So we hope that all the officers will encourage each and every member to buy a ticket to this entertainment, as we can be lots of help to you musically. MUSICIANS MEET PROF.

For the benefit of the visiting strangers and many guests of our city, Mr. N. G. Walker gave a big tallyho party, consisting of some of the most congenial people in our city to spend the first of August in the country and see a real farm full of live bodies. The party started at 4 a. m., and after a most delightful ride for 23 miles, came to the ranch, only to be met at the gate with a 10-gallon can of ice cold lemonade, which lasted only two hours. Eleven watermelons and several spring chickens, besides the cake, candies and fruit were soon destroyed for the party's pleasure. Too much credit for the real spirit and entertainment by Miss Eva and John and Jonas Cooper can not be given because the fresh butter and sweet milk were due to their kindness besides the riding of burros, bronchos and gentle pones were the included exciting events. The lively and happy crowd took snap shots at rabbits, prairie dogs and coyotes, besides singing all the latest songs coming and going to the ranch.

DOUGLAS PAGE. & CONVENTION OF THE NATIONAL BUSINESS LEAGUE. To Be Held at Louisville, Ky., August 18, 19 and 20, 1909—Fine Program—Side Trip to Mammoth Cave The Ninth Annual Convention of the National Negro Business League, which is to be held at Louisville, in "Old Kentucky," Wednesday, Thursday and Friday, August 18, 19 and 20, promises to be one of the most interesting and best attended conventions that have been held since the organization of the league at Boston, nine years ago. The stimulating effect upon Negro business enterprise which this league has been exercising under the direction of Dr. Booker T. Washington and his official staff has been clearly seen and appreciated and, in part, explains the league's constantly increasing membership. The league welcomes to its membership every man and woman of the race who is engaged or interested in some worthy Negro business enterprise and only a nominal charge of $2 per year is expected from each member, which membership fund is used in prosecuting the work and extending the influence of the organization; this membership fee of $2 also procures for each delegate a badge which entitles the delegate to a seat upon the floor of the convention as well as free admission and service at the annual banquet and at all of the other social functions provided by the local committee for the benefit of delegates. The central location of Louisville, the special railroad rates that have been secured for all delegates (a tare and a third, plus 50 cents) the excellent program which is being arranged, and the many social features and other attractions which have been provided for all indicate an unusually large attendance. The officers of the Local Negro Business League of Louisville are working energetically to make this the banner meeting of the league and the generous provisions already made for the reception and entertainment of delegates and visitors, justifies the prediction that all those who attend will be treated to genuine Kentucky hospitality. What promises to be an especially unique and interesting feature on the program is known as "Mississippi Day," which means that one entire day will be given over to the state of Mississippi, whose delegates will discuss and illustrate the phenomenal progress that has been made by Negro men in that state since the emancipation of the slaves. The program is nearly completed and is being carefully prepared by Mr. Emmett J. Scott, corresponding secretary of the National League, who has just returned from Liberia! printed copies will soon be available. Aside from the program proper, an old-fashioned Kentucky barbecue has been arranged and the annual banquet will be held in one of the largest halls of the city. The Louisville city council has generously made a special appropriation toward defraying certain expenses connected with the entertainment of this body, and on Saturday, August 21, a special excursion to Mammoth Cave, (46 miles from Louisville) will be conducted by the Louisville Negro League for the benefit of the delegates, all of whom will doubtless be glad to visit what is universally conceded to be one of the grandest wonders of the world.

When we first began our wonderful work of growing all kinds, all qualities, all lengths, and all conditions of hair, even to the growing of hair on bald places of the head, many persons scorned the idea that such a thing was possible; but we have grown the hair for hundreds, rapidly achieving success. The proof of the value of our work is that we are being imitated and largely by persons whose own hair we have actually grown and the further fact that they have very frequently mentioned us when trying to sell their goods (saying that "theirs is the same" or "just as good") or referred to "PORO." We advise you to use only "PORO" Hair Grower, (the oldest and best of its kind). See that the name "PORO" is on every box, not genuine without it. Prepared only by MRS. A. M. POPE.
