GETTING ACQUAINTED: Continued
In previous issues it has been said that the Navy Ship’s
Store Office has the responsibility for determining basic
policies as well as for guidance in the area of selection of
merchandise and setting prices. But these are broacd responsibil
ity and the- specific task of selecting what merchandise will be
sold at Adak is determined by the Exchange Officer. Through sales *■ *
history it has been proven that in all Exchanges everywhere, cer
tain items will be in demand. Such items as Colgate Tooth Paste,
Lucky Strike cigarettes, and approximately 200 other items are
placed on a "Must and Never Out of Stock List". These items, you,
as a patron, can expect to find in every Navy Exchange. Your
Trading Post currently is 98$ in stock of these items! The Ex
change Officer and his staff make the final determination as to
what merchandise will be carried, and currently the West Coast
Branch of the Navy Ship’s Store Office, which is located at the
Naval Supply Center Oakland, is actually preparing the purchase
orders.
