Agents Wanted

Wells and Company Book Concern advertises positions for agents to sell a book written by a black man about race relations.

To sell a new book written by a Negro… our book is entitled “Anthropology Applied to the American White Man and Negro.” A dialogue between Mr. Jones, an ex-slaveholder, and Sambo, an ex-slave, upon the problem of the two races.
