A new symbol of progress and thrift stands. in quiet impressiveness on Boulevard place today. It is at one and the same time a residence and a monument. A residence that will be the home of John A. Patton, popular funeral director, and a monument that is another evidence of leadership. This new residence is the finest of its kind ever erected in the State of Indiana by a Negro. The real estate investment is valued in excess of $20,000. Its site on Fall Creek boulevard is ideal. The house is of red brick trimmed with Indiana limestone and built on the Old English style. The exterior is one that time will mellow into the fine ancient beauty that characterizes many Old English estates. The reception and dining rooms and halls are decorated in stucco with sand finish and trimmed in brick with walnut finish. The upstairs bedrooms are stippled with yellow pine woodwork. The kitchen is beautified with the new process Marietta glass which closely resembles tile. Floors throughout are of antique Oak. Special features of the house are an insulated roof which protects alike from heat and cold, garage adjoins house, making for con-

venience of family during inclement weajher; front walk of step* ping stones with open terrace at front porch. A single radio receiving set will transmit thru loud speakers in every room in the house; telephone cabinets are of the disappearing style. An exhaust fan and electric kitchen clock make the kitchen more than the average one. This house was financed and built by Sears, Roebuck and Co,, of which Julius Rosenwald, a great friend of the Negro, is president. This company is the world’s largest builders of fine homes. All work was done, however, by Negroes. From the foundation to the roof, Negro labor, craftsmanship, furnished the skill that bought this fine house into existence. The general contracting was in the capable hands of Bedenbaugh Brothers & Sons. These men have been building homes for more than twenty years. Their selection by Sears, Roebuck & Co., was acknowledgment o f their ability and experience. All wiring and installation of equipment. was done by Letcher Miller & Son, a firm of excellent reputation as electrical contractors. Plumbing by Hawkins Brothers, one of Indianapolis’ most capable business firms. The job of decorating is one that required much skill. The selection of the man to do that work was carefully considered. William C. Gardner was chosen for the task. The result is a tribute to his skill and capabilities. Since the completion of this beautiful 1 house, another has been started by practically the same

firms. Its site is not far from that of the Patton home. It is to be hoped that this marks the beginning of a new trend among colored in the matter of building their own homes.

National B a r Association Meets In St. Louis, 7-9

OUT

Attorney James B. Battey, with offices in the Delcourt building, Delaware and court streets, has filed suit against the Colonial stages of Cincinnati for $10,000

damages.

In his complaint, Mr. Battey avers that a driver in the employ of the bus company refused his passage back to Indianapolis from Louisville, when Battey objected to

being jim-crowed.

Mr. Battey had previously bougjit a round trip ticket to and from Louisville from the company’s agents In Indianapolis. The trip to Louisville from Indianapo- * Hs on the same bus line, was an uneventful one, according to Mr. Battey. He said that the real trouble started when he failed to choose a back seat in the rear end of the bus at the request of the

pastor, the Rev. William Jones, and other leaders in connection with the revival just conducted in this city. Rev. Leonard Praised Special mention is being made of the Rev. R. D. Leonard, pastor of the Union tabernacle Baptist church, Indianapolis, who, the members of the church feel they are unable to thank in a big enough way for contributiou to the success of the revival. The meetings which drfew u nightly large attendance from everywhere, seemingly, will long be remembered for the healthy Inspirational and soul lifting effect. : Speakers Wonderful The speakers were,* all well chosen and able in their parts, while the talks were all wonderful for their constructive effect upon the minds of the hundreds of appreciative hearers. Members of the First Baptist congregation are loud In their praise of the Rev. Mr. Leonard, who, they say, brought them ’“such good things in God’s way.” The Rev. Mr. Leonard was the principal speaker at the revival meeting which lasted a week and brought forth its share of converts.
