Half a Loan Adds to Problems of St. Louis Service Station Operator
St Louis Missouri AP James A Gates Sr 40 runs a modern ghetto service station as he struggles after receiving only half of a 15000 loan from the Small Business Administration. He is 15 months behind on payments and faces liquidation while the SBA expands minority lending despite high failure rates. The piece notes the broader barriers of access, stigma and shortages of minority business mentors, with St Louis as a focal point where only 42 of a 1969 goal of 106 minority loans had been made with a week left.
