Payless Cashways, Inc., the big Kansas City, Mo.-based chain of building materials supermarts that has 15 units in the West, has found for legal reasons that they are unable to use the parent company's name in every location. For this reason, the stores carry the name Barcelona on the big red arrow sign on their two Albuquerque, NM., stores as well as the one in Santa Fe, N.M.
