The National Business Men’s Club
President Brother McElrath-Bey(1928)        

BUSINESS MEN’S CLUB OF DETROIT MAKING PROGRESS        

Three Grocery-Markets; One Laundry.

During the Prophet’s stay in Detroit, he was very much pleased to find that the Business Men’s Club showed that
they knew what they were doing. In this club there were more than $1000.00 turned over to the Prophet to help
promote the manufactory in Chicago.

The club has established two grocery stores and a meat market of first class. They are doing a fine business in the
three, and with growth of the temple, these businesses will continue to grow.

All of the temples will soon have such businesses, for the growth of the temples will require that they serve their
members.

This club was organized for the purpose of putting into action any commercial or industrial project in order to assist in
the uplifting of fallen humanity and to help finance the Moorish Science Temple of America Inc.
