The Jackson - Alcorn game is one fo the greatest rivalries in football. The Al corn Braves are determined to defeat the Tigers who were vicotrs in last year’s contest. The Braves have a well-bal anced team and one of the best quarterbacks in the Southwest Conference. The Tigers will be out to deal the Braves another defeat this year. The Jackson - Alcorn game should be a thriller. Business On Parade . (Continued from page 1) near Grenada; during the era of the C. C. C. Camps, Paris Cleaners trucks delivered enough business into Jackson to not only keep that plant operating on a ‘round-the clock schedule, but to keep two other Negro Cleaners in this city busy day and night. During this time, Paris Clean ers also serviced Camp Shel by near Hattiesburg, Miss. From a most humble be ginning, Mr. Williams has built his business to the ex tent that at present he has a plant worth thousands of dollars ... he does a gross business of thousands of dol lars; he has a working staff of more than thirty persons all receiving salaries in keep ing with those paid by other similar establishments; he has five pick-up trucks that serv ice Jackson and adjoining counties. . . PARIS CLEANERS No. 1 and 2 offer a complete clean ing and laundry service No. 3 is a Pick-up Station for the North Central section of our city . . . PARIS CLEAN ERS also offers an expert Al teration and Hat Blocking Service; an expert Spotting and Cleaning Department; a Shirt service that completely finishes 60 shirts an hour; a Storage department for both winter and summer. As most of the businesses in Jackson. PARIS CLEANERS is also a family affair . . . Mr. Williams gives much credit for his growth and continued progress to his wife, Mrs. ELEASE PACE WILLIAMS^ wno completely manages the No. 1 Location; to Miss AG PACE, a sister-in-law; Mis. JESSIE MAE CROWS LEY, his daughter; Mrs. LU BURRELL, a cousin Mr. EDWARD WELLS, a valu ed friend who has charge of Lie cleaning department. At testing to his general ability as a boss is the large num ber of employees who nave been with the business over a period of many years. . . During the years, PARIS CLEANERS has given assist ance and training to hundreds of boys and girls, including students connected with the Diversified Occupation Pro gram of the city's High schools and students from the Mississippi School for the Deaf who have shown an in terest in his particular trade. Highly conscious of his com munity obligations, Mr. Wil liams .ias not only given gen erously to many of the local charities, but has for a num ber of years, sponsored a CITY-WIDE EASTER EGG HUNT, providing free trans portation and free eggs for hundreds, many being under privileged children who had very little other planned or supervised recreation during the year . . . Again we say . . . Because PARIS CLEAN ERS exemplifies the type of competitive business that Neg roes must own and operate as we prepare for First Class Citizens. WE SALUTE THIS BUSINESS AND ON BEHALF OF ITS OWNER, invite you to use its SERVICES more and more. . .
