We come to a fine-looking house on a corner--a swell place it was, with lots of palms and ferns and plants setting on the verandah and showing through the windows.

And stables back of it; and back of the stables a big yard with noises coming from it like they was circus animals there.

Which I found out later they really was, kept fur pets.
You could tell the people that lived there had money.
"This," says Doctor Kirby, as we walked by, "is the house that Jackson built.

Dr.Julius Jackson--OLD Doctor Jackson, the man with an idea! The idea made all the money you smell around here." "What idea ?" "The idea--the glorious humanitarian and philanthropic idea--of taking the kinks and curls out of the hair of the Afro-American brother," says Doctor Kirby, "at so much per kink." This Doctor Jackson, he says, sells what he calls Anti-Curl to the niggers.

It is to straighten out their hair so it will look like white people's hair.
