1. Have pleasant and warm per-
sonality. 2. Watch your appearance
clothing and grooming. 3. Learn to
adjust yourself to any type of per-
son. 4. Basically, learn to sell your-
self and you will sell a magazine.
Points and his sales crew em-
phasized one point in the interview:
They are the first Negroes given
this chance to work for Union, and
they must make good now to earn
permanent positions. 4
Why They Work
Misses Alford. Maddox and Ho-
ward of Atlanta consider their work
as a means to earn funds to com-
plete their college education-Miss-
es Alford and Howard to become
physiotherapists and Miss Maddox
to become a nurse. Miss Ransom
also wants to finish college. Miss
Taylor who also is an artist and a
singer, wants to complete her study
of commercial art in Chicago.
Mrs. Points wantsto help her hys-
band and also hopes some day to
become a manager, herself. Point
feels that if he makes goodhe will
create opportunities forNtgroes at
all levels in Union.
How lucky enn a slay al homer be? Like having the
Dargan family call on a pleasant summer evening (in Sep-
tember) Bringing along several dozen technicolor films

1st Negro Magazine Agent
in Action in North Tulsa
If sometime during this week
you are approached or have been
approached by a young woman re-
questing you to buy a subscription
to a magazine, you probably are
being called upon by a member of J Robert Reinhardt,
the first interracial sales team
hired by the Union Circulation
company of New York.
Union is a firm which simply
goes out to sell magazines. In the
i past all its managers and sales
personnel have been white.
Recently, the company decided
| to employ Jack Points, a graduate
, of Wilberforce university and ow-
ner of two going businesses one on
the college campus in Wilberforce
Ohio. After going through the usual
Ohio. After going through the usual
training period, Points was imme-
diately made a manager, the first
Negro to rate this position
