Miss M.E. Jackson Gets Third Set of Leader Dishes Well-Known Jefferson County Teacher Secures Six New Subscribers And A Set of Dishes In One Afternoon The third set of Leader dishes goes to Miss M.E. Jackson of 2207 Standard Avenue, well-known Jefferson County school teacher, a leader in church and society circles. Miss Jackson has been one of the most loyal Leader readers and supporters and it was a pleasure to her to lend her support and cooperation in the Leader's effort to increase its circulation. She is among those who realize and appreciate the value of a Negro newspaper. The significant thing about the securing of the number of subscribers for dishes is the fact that she took Wed. afternoon off this week, and in a few hours had six new subscribers. Coming to the Leader office she gave a check for the six new subscribers and paid her own. Miss Jackson therefore gets the third set, which will be delivered to her during the coming week. Miss Jackson receives the commendation and appreciation of the Leader management for her splendid effort. 
Others Report Progress
Among those who have reported one of more subscriptions on the seven during the w eek are Mrs. Mary Hesderson, Mrs. Rufus Hoy, all well-known women of the city. Others have sent in coupon blanks signed, entering themselves as campaigners for a set of the beautiful china dishes. Among those who signed coupons during the week are Mrs. Phillis Garner of Okolona, Miss., a community with a population of about 6,000 with one of the most prosperout colored citizens in the country, the home of C.W. Gilliam and Phillip McIntosh, two big race merchants known throughout the country, the home of the late Mrs. Katherine Cole. 
Campaign to close August 1
That the management may have ample time to get the campaign well on its way and to place as many Leaders in as many Negro communities in Kentucky and other parts as possible, it has been definitely decided to carry the campaign through July to the first of August, given many of those in the school rooms, who are anxious to secure a set of the dishes some time to give to the liberal inducement after their schools are closed, the latter part of June.
Leader Installing Cylinder Press and Folding Machine The installing of a cylinder press by the I. Willis Cole Publishing Co., and the Leader, during the coming week, and a folding machine within a few days after is another move forward by this race business institution of four years. The Cylinder Press and Folding machine puts the Cole institution in the front rank among printers and publishers and easily the best equipped secular race publishing house in the South. At the location at 422-424 S. 6th Street, in the Mammoth Building any grade and class of printing can be done as correct, as neat, as cheap and prompt as can be done in any printing establishment in the city. It means in addition to machinery of several hundred dollars, keeping every bit of the work on the Leader and all other printing jobs in the hands of colored mechanics employed by an institution owned and operated by a Negro. With the recent addition of the Linotype machine, the installing of the Cylinder Press and Folding machine mean the employment of two or three more young men and women of the race and in connection with the eight now connected with the establishment.
