It will not require much capital and it will make you economically independent,' was the excellent advice he gave ' us. : He then pointed out that there was an excellent field in Richmond . for. groceries, ' shoe stores, dry goods stores and similar enterprises operated by colored people and catering to colored people. At the present time there are two groceries, a hotel, barber shop and a few other mercantile establishments operated by colored people, showing that Mr. Washington's advice was taken to heart." .
