NIAGARA FALLS
A stupendous handiwork of nature;
rushing, roaring, awe-inspiring; a
mighty torrent of blue-green water
tumbling over rock-ribbed cliffs to the
rocks and whirlpools and rapids below,
thence on to the sea!
For years this vast power was a waste
—man built units of power and harness-
ed it, and uses it to turn thousands of
wheels of industry.
C The Negro race is a parallel—tremend-
A ous potential strength—unharnessed—
A hence wasted—THIS STORE seeks to
be a UNIT in a great power plant. Lend
a hand!
