NEW SHOPPING HOURS'— The: Navy Ship's Store Office has recently issued a direct
ive that all Commissary Stores establish a minimum of 40 sales hours weekly.
Although we fortunately, do not have the., crowded conditions found' in many state
side stores,* the hours of business have been revised as follows, effective on
Thursday, March 30, 1961s ..
The store will continue to be closed on Sundays and Wednesdays. Speaking of
shopping hours, particular attention is invited to the extra shopping hour now
in effect on Friday evenings. If you are one of these shoppers who likes to
browse around and take your time with the least interference it is suggested
that you consider Friday evening or the.first two hours on Saturday morning. As
you may have noticed, it seems that 90% of our weekend business is done between
1700-1800 Friday evening and between 1000 - 1200 Saturday morning.
NEW ITEMS - At the present time,we are faced with.the problem of' having to re
duce excess inventory stocks and as a result, no immediate action will be taken
to procure new items for which we have a similar item (such as under : another
brand) in stock. We are taking action to procure new items suggested via the
suggestion box method which will not aggravate our stock situation. Do- contin
ue to submit your ideas; and we can assure you that each will' receive careful
consideration.

BAGGING OF GROCERIES'- Undoubtedly, some of you newcomers are curious about
having to bag your own groceries prior to the arrival of schoolboys after
school. Stateside commissaries are,fortunate in being located adjacent to
large naval activities which can afford to provide daily working parties for
this specific purpose. The existing manpower availability on Adak precludes
such a practice. Summer vacation is just around the corner a’nd the boys will
be on full time .during the summer months* Your attention is invited to the
instructions which have been prepared for all baggers and which is posted on the
bulletin board by the entrance to the store. In event of any complaints you
may like to register about this service, please contact SHC DUCK or the Officer
in Charge and we shal1 be glad to take appropriate action,
PORK SAUSAGE SPECIALISTS - The boys in the Butcher Shop are justifyably proud
of their home made pork sausage which made such a hit the past week and it is
planned to continue the 35$ per pound get accquainted sale for the benefit of
those patrons who missed pot last week. This is a bargain as I personnally
believe there is closb to 35$ value of spices in each pound,
ICE CREAM SPECIAL - After the terrific run on our. frozen bakery products last
week we feel that we should come up with a low calories offering for this week,
We find ourselves a bit overstocked on Neopolitan Ice Cream and would like for
you patrons to help us out and' save yourselves some money - at the same time.
For a limited time, the l/2 gallon of Neapolitan will be marked down l/3 (from
75$ to-; 5Of per half gallon). Neapolitan is an old time, favorite, primarily be
cause it has chocolate, vanilla and strawberry flavors in 3 neat rows.
