Retail Store: As usual the Mizar has hrouglit the Navy Exchange
a full range of new items. Included, as usual, has been a ship
ment of records. These are always popular, and in great demand
on Adak. The Exchange policy will be to put out several batches
of records at different and varied times, on different days to
give all our patrons a chance to buy records. The best way to
assure yourself of a good selection is to come in the Retail
Store often. Those that do not feel that they can make an adeq
uote selection of records from the racks are encouraged to.Spec
ial Order records of their choice.
Other new items such as women’s skirts and sweaters, men’s
shirts, and slacks, Children’s . Tootsie Toys, Easter candy and
toys will be put on sale periodically as they are checked in and
priced in the Warehouse. And, for the home a new line of Hoover
Vacuum Cleaners.
Beport on Name Brands, by CAPT. J.J. Appleby (SC) U£N, Commanding
Officer, U.S. Navy Ship’s Store Office.
The policy of the Navy Exchange System to provide its cus
tomers with merchandise they desire is of ever-increasing im
portance. . The physical limitations of stores do not permit
Exchanges to experiment with unknown brands, nor to try to
create a market for merchandise with which the customer is
not familiar. Our goal has been, - - and always will be - -
to make available to the customer the merchandise he wants,
at the best possible price.
It is the customer who tells us what to stock, and based
upon experience, customers .are more responsive to "brands".
With the Exchange's emphasis on name brands, our patrons should
continue to be satisfied, (excerpt from letter by CAPT. Appleby)
