senioi citizens, she says. They buy the cookies
from Burney wholesale and sell them door-to door
retail.
Heading Ploti Cookies' advertising and accounting,
the young entrepreneur recently hired
attorneys to draw up papers that will soon turn
her small business into a corporation.
"Shooting for the stars? Yes, I'm going to
turn Plott Cookes into a corporation," says
Burney. "Within three months we're going all
the way to the New York Stock Exchange.
"Studying economics helped me learn about
the system and the way it works," she says. "In
studying, 1 found out that the only survivors of
the system are the ones who go into business for
themselves."

brown paper bag Burney designed. She says she
requires nothing but the best from her staff,
who are employed not only as distributors and
bakers, but as deliverers, quality controllers
and packagers.
"My employees think I'm very strict," says
Burney, who, as a child, says she used to let
cookies burn while caught up in midnight horror
movies.
"You'd be surprised at the number of calls I
get with people wanting to make money - legal

people," she says, "and it gave me a perspective
of why people stay on jobs that are nonpaying
and unappreciative."
Because of her aggressiveness and her learned
ability to communicate well and charm others,
Scott soon gained a resourceful contact who offered
his assistance in getting her present position.
"A man that I waited on gave me his card,"
says Scott, "and about three months before the
restaurant closed I gave him a call."
Not long after, Scott was hired by Summit
Cable as a telephone sales person and rhoved up

Don't be reluctant ai
Some people are reluctant to ask their doctoi
questions. They assume that they'd be taking
the physician's time and that questions are no
welcome. The North Carolina Medical Societ;
says this is a mistake and urges all patients tc
ask their physicians questions.
Physicians are busy people, but they welcorrw

In fact, investors think Burney's cookies are
so good, she says, that they have been hounding
her for shares in her company. But she says she
won't sell any of the profits, presently at 45 percent,
until she establishes her company in the
stock market.
City businesses that distribute Plott Cookies
include the Record Boutique, Ray s Seafood
Market, John & Vicki's Arcade, Rachel's International,
Codie's Hair Design and The Seafood
House. "I don't even get to sell anymore," says
Burney.
Also, for every 288 bags of cookies Burney
packages, coupons of several business are included.
Burney is well aware that her idea of selling
homemade cookies isn't new. Cookie magnet
Famous Amos is one of her predecessors.
"I'm proud of Famous Amos," she says,

No one in Burney's family really took her
serious at first, she says, simply because their
recipe of oats, brown sugar, flour and spices
was just a family thing.
"My family doesn't understand my energy," j
she says, "because 1 can go to work for
somebody else for eight hours and work
another 10 on my cookies. But they believe in
me and they don't doubt that I'm going to be
somebody.
"But right now," Burney says, "they just see
me running around crying when something
doesn't go right. People are like that, though,
when you're starting out. They don't understand."
Burney is insulted when someone, doesn't
take her or her business seriously, and for those
who would rather criticize than sunnort her.
she says they have no place in her life. Most of
all, she feels good about what she's doing, she
says, because-it's not just to her advantage.
"I find great satisfaction in seeing me and
others make money," says Burney. "There's
no sense in making it all the way to the top of
the mountain and you're up there by yourself.
44l'd rather bring some people with me."

one thing that still continues to baffle and
s bother her, she says, is racism,
e "I'm an integrationist simply because I've
- been exposed to both worlds," says Scott. "But
t in Winston-Salem, racism is apparent. They are
open about it and they will tell you that they
don't like you, but there have been changes in
( both races."
What Scott says she would like to do,
although she knows she can't do it alone, is reeducate
the white community about black pepple,
to let them know that both races are the
l same, just different colors,
r "I want to help others know that black peo/
pie are human, that they have variety and they
) are diverse," she says. "I hope I did that this
e mornine while I cot mv tune un "
