Later this month the company plans to start distributing a free newspaper for shoppers, the B & B Exchange, which will feature stories about black businessmen. Eventually, B & B expects to distribute its stamps nationally, possibly in white areas as well. Powell and his officers promise to extend to white communities a B & B policy of devoting 20% of profits earned in any area to scholarships for children...
