The New South

CHAPTER VII
14/43

In nearly every community there is a negro woman who bakes cakes for special occasions.

Many negroes act as caterers or keep restaurants, but these must be for whites only or blacks only, but not for both.

A negro market gardener suffers no discrimination, and a negro grocer may receive white patronage, though he usually does not attempt to attract white customers.

There are a few negro dairymen, and some get the best prices for their products.

Where a negro manufactures or sells goods in a larger way, as in brickyards, cement works lumber yards and the like, race prejudice does not interfere with his trade.
Negro professional men, on the other hand, get little or no white patronage.
