     From page 12 of BLACK ENTERPRISE magazine,
     there's a review of a book entitled:

     BLACK FEMINIST THOUGHT
     knowledge, conciousness, & the politics of empowerment
     by Patricia Hill Collins
     (Routledge, Chapman & Hall; New York; 1991)

     According to the article, this writer has blended
     musical, fictional, & sociological examples
     with the insights of African American feminists
     like ANGELA DAVIS, ALICE WALKER, and AUDRE LORD.
     One of the major themes covered in the book is WORK.
     Another major point of the book is that there is a FORMIDABLE
     African-American women's progressive intellectual TRADITION.
     "IF there is NO struggle, there is NO progress".
	   - TONYA BOLDEN

     A WOMAN IS A SYMBOL OF AMERICA.

     $1.  It comes with a poster, too.  It's:

		         PLACES TO START A SMALL BUSINESS
		      -------------------------------------

   I can only speak from what I know about.  I'm sure there
   are alot of excellent places to start a business in the U.S.
   Some of those places have LOW overhead (low price per square foot)
   in some amazingly beautiful OLD buildings.

   One place that quickly comes to mind is Worcester, Mass.
   It has a wealth of old buildings and there is alot of
   renovation and NEW buildings going up out there.
   And for after work it has great cultural events at
   the Worcester Centrum or at Mechanics Hall.
   They have the Quinsigamond State Park, too, where you can
   water ski and swim in the Summer.

   And there are alot of places to entertain business clientele
   in Worcester, too.  Places like:

   + the THAI ORCHID
   + the Laughing Coyote (Southwest Grille)
   + the Firehouse Cafe
   + LEGAL SEAFOODS 
   ALL on Commercial street in Worcester.

                                   Biotechnology

     Located a short distance from scenic Lake Quinsigamond
     in Worcester, MA is a MAJOR BASF Biotechnolgy plant.
     There are other biotechnology research plants in Shrewsbury,
     too, which is the town right next door.
     Its also where that popular store SPAGS is (on Route 9).

    really got his education at 52nd Street JAZZ Clubs."

    Here's an excellent audiotape of MILES DAVIS that I picked
    up inexpensively at NEWBURY COMICS.  It's a good way to
    get a TASTE of Miles Davis if you've never been EXPOSED
    to his MUSIC.

			       GROWING GOOD THINGS
		      -------------------------------------

    Another place I've heard about as a place to grow
    small businesses is the Lighthouse Mall
    in Weymouth, Massachusetts.  JERRY of Building 19 1/2 fame
    bought that MALL and rents out stores at LOW rates per
    square foot.   It's a good way to try out an idea to see if
    it will fly.

    HERE'S an example of why sometimes you may need to start
    at one location before you can move your business to the
    place you really want it to be.

    There was a Japanese fellow who opened a Japanese Gift store
    in Arlington, MA on Mass Ave.  He did not speak much English
    But he had an good selection of goods for a small store.
    The problem was he needed to be in a High Foot Traffic area
    (and he wasn't).   His other BIG problem was he opened the
    store just the same way (it seemed to me) as folks do in
    Japan.  He didn't have a SIGN for his store.  And since
    he had a TINY store front, people driving by weren't
    likely to realize there was a GIFT store there.
    He went under (or gave up) after just a few months.
    He probably would have done better if he had started
    first in that Lighthouse Mall.  Then he could have learned
    what Japanese goods people were most interested in, and
    he probably should have contacted a Japanese Group, like
    IKEBANA INTERNATIONAL to get suggestions on where to
    advertise (he carried IKEBANA materials).
    He probably would have been wise if he hired a STUDENT,
    who was studying Japanese, to aid him in dealing with
    customers (since he spoke so little English).

    The reverse would hold true for us if we were
    doing business in Japan.  Here's a book on
    companies doing just that:

    SECOND TO NONE, AMERICAN COMPANIES IN JAPAN
    by Robert C. Christopher
    (Fawcett Columbine; New York; 1986)
    For a $1 at ALL FOR A DOLLAR store.


    I was able to pick up several inexpensive books related
    to business at the BUILDING 19 store in Burlington, Mass.
    It's behind the WAREHOUSE FLOWERS store on Cambridge Street
    not far from the Burlington Town Hall.  (Warehouse Flowers
    has unusual flowers for sale on occasion.  Like Dendrobian Orchids.)

    Here's what I found:

     For $2 I got:
     THE ECONOMIST
     BUSINESS TRAVELLER'S GUIDES
     UNITED STATES
     (Prentice Hall Press; New York; 1987)
     Has MAPS for alot of Major cities.
     These don't change that much over time
     and this book is compact, so those alone make it worth $2.

     For $3 a videotape entitled:
     ENTREPRENEURIAL SUCCESS
     lessons from america's greatest entrepreneurs
     from the TV show  THE ENTREPRENEURS: AN AMERICAN ADVENTURE
     Tape includes interviews with FAMOUS AMOS and
     JOHN JOHNSON of EBONY magazine.

			        LOOKING FOR WORK
		      -------------------------------------

    When I get frustrated I sometimes try new approaches to
    looking for work.  Like I look in the newspaper business
    section to see what companies in my field are promoting
    people.  I believe that if a company is going to take the
    time to post in a newspaper who they are promoting then
    they must be doing well business wise.

    One of BLACK ENTERPRISE magazine's back pages is entitled
    "ON THE MOVE" and it lists who is getting promoted where.

    Here's a list of companies I've drawn from page 92 of the
    JULY 1992 issue of BLACK ENTERPRISE:

    I.B.M. (International Business Machines) in Riverside, California.
    SHOWTIME NETWORKS in New York.
    BURRELL ADVERTISING in Chicago.
    BANK OF BOSTON in Boston.
    GREATER TOLEDO CONVENTION BUREAU in Toledo, Ohio.
    BOSTON INTERNATIONAL RECORDS in Boston.
    EDELMAN PUBLIC RELATIONS WORLDWIDE in New York.
    KAISER FOUNDATION in Charlotte, North Carolina.
    E.J. DUPONT de NEMOURS & Co in Wilmington, Delaware.
    SPELMAN COLLEGE in Atlanta, Georgia.
    U.S. Department of Health & Human Services in Washington, D.C.

    BLACK ENTERPRISE also has a Career Marketplace section
    where companies from across the U.S., who are hiring, advertise.
    Here are the companies advertising for help in that same issue:
    1. NATIONSBANK in Bethesda, Maryland.
    2. MAZDA in Irvine, California.
    3. ABBOTT LABORATORIES in Abbott Park, Illinois.
    4. Cincinnati, Ohio's Fire Department.
    5. REEBOK in Stoughton, Massachusetts.

			       STARTING A BUSINESS
		      -------------------------------------

       I posted a message on a BBS system to find out
       what books people recommended pertaining to
       starting a business.  Here are a few:

       BUSINESS PLANS THAT WIN $$$
       lessons from the M.I.T. Enterprise Forum

       (McGraw-Hill Pubs; Bogot…, Colombia; 1990)

       FROM CONCEPT TO MARKET
       by Gary S. Lynn
       (John Wiley & Sons; Singapore; 1989)

       And if you're looking for a NEW way to deliver
       your marketing information to your customers,
       you should look into CD-ROMS.
       There's a company named SELECTWARE that will market
       your SOFTWARE for you this way.  BUT they could just
       as easily put a catalog of your products (WITH SOUND)
       on a disk.  You could then mail the CD-ROMs to your
       Select Customers.  That way, using their computers,
       your customers could rapidly find the products that they
       needed (in an enjoyable way) in your catalog.
       AND your catalog would print an ORDER FORM
       that could then be mailed to you.

       To find out more contact:
       SELECTWARE TECHNOLOGIES, Inc

    This is the Largest BLACK Fundraising organization in the Nation,
    formed in 1944 to assist historically black colleges & universities
    to raise funds from the public.

    LITTLE KNOWN FACTS:
    President George Bush served as a UNCF volunteer in 1948.

    I was originally going to donate the money to a
    BLACK AFRICAN AMERICAN COLLEGE FUND at Harvard or University
    of Massachusetts or Boston University or Northeastern University
    but it makes more sense to have it accessible by ALL Black African
    Americans.   I'm sure that if their CUP runeth over they will
    contribute to other BLACK AFRICAN AMERICAN charities.

    If you don't want to contribute there (I can't change you)
    then you might want to contribute to the UNITED WAY which
    contributes to alot of TRUE charities (the United Way was
    at one time known as THE COMMUNITY CHEST, like in the
    game Monopoly).    If not the United Way, then here's a
    good book of TRUE charities that you might be interested in donating to:
