Fisher Even before the turn of the century, over 300 Black inventors had patented their ideas. Ideas that in most cases brought them no profit. And probably one of the reasons was, there just wasn't available the adequate financial support. Just think, Jan Matzeliger revolutionized the shoe industry with his shoe lasting machine, but was unable to stat his own company. General Foods can't change the past. But we can help mold the future. With North Street Capital Corporation. ☐ North Street Capital Corporation is a company we set up to invest in and to support minority business development. So far, we've invested in over a dozen minority businesses, like a plant that makes industrial uniforms. Or the company that manufactures Early American lamps. And some businesses that started with an invention. Businesses that are now experiencing rapid growth in development and profit. Not only for us. But for the people who've seen their ideas become realities. And that's good. Because we think it's time profit goes where it rightfully belongs. [[image]] Another way to feed the community.
