nifchtr-truthfully be said that to a
erv groat extent Negro, business has
endeavored to base-its hope for suc>ess?o??t+?4s?"loyalty?at????higher
iriee'i theory, and m so ""much as it
is' it has failed to use the workable
md fundamental principles ot busi- ;
less it has failed.- . It.
is very much agreed that more
oyalty, confidence and co-operation
houId" be shUwrd -toward Negro-busi
icss by- Negi-oes. It seems however,
hat the business man should pay-for
laving his business patronized instead
f ?the customer.' At least business
irincipics have it that way.
"" A cleaF~cxpositiorT of th^TlToctrine
hou Id he. made in a subsequent isue.
For rf further applications of
he "Double-duty-dollar" theory are
,s unfortunate as the bile present, it
hould be discarded as persiflgaO.
sTogro "business is badly in need of
non with. analytical minds and not
oothsayers. The present crisis and.
he general problems facing the Keno
group make the scrutiny of our- ?oisiness
principles an urgent necessi*
y. Th0 Negro group <can achieve
he necessary enthusiasm to carry on
uccessful??entwprises?-as?:
yell as yjny other-group hut it is sad
v dependent upon its leaders in
hought to show til,, way. In so much
s the leaders theliiso!ves-.fai 1, so the
:roup fails.
