TOYLAND opened Friday and Santa stayed until Saturday when he left us for the
North Pole* Santa said he was tired but happy that he was able to see so many
of Adak's youngsters and he hopes they all get just what they asked for especi
ally those that asked for a baby brother or sister* TOYLAND will be open week
days 3 to 5^30 P.M. and Saturdays 9 to 12 Noon until further notice. There are
countless different types of toys for all ages from 6 weeks to 60. See you at
TOYLAND.
WHEN APPETITES SHARPEN as the season changes on Adak from cold to colder the
brunch party becomes more popular. Brunch menus are usually planned so that
much of the preparation can be done in advance leaving only some quick on-the
spot cooking or reheating, to be done. Even this is no chore for the housewife
who has teken advantages of the buys in auto-matic cookware available in the
housewares section of your Navy Exchange.
LINENS ARE LOVELY to give or receive and our new bedspreads, towels and wash
cloths are of the finest quality in all sorts of decorator colors.
ONLY STERLING GROWS LOVLISR THE more you use it. If we don't have a set or
pattern to your liking in stock now is the time to check with the Special Order
desk for the set of sterling you’ve always wanted. You’ll love your new sterl
ing and we’re sure you'll like the price. Its worth a check - that's the
Special Order Department to the left just before you enter Toyland.
IT'S NO SECRET though we'd like to keep one once in awhile just for fun. We
think its probably like this all over the world - there are phone calls to see
when the planes due in, hoy; many and who are on it, when mail call is going to
be (even before the plane is on deck ), asking who got their orders (did mine
come in, I leave in ’63) and so it goes# Seems like the word leaks out as to
what is in the warehouse at.the store before its off the ship, and it just isn't
so. All material received has to be checked against the manifest- at the shed
#1 - transferred to topside warehouse at the Retail Store, checked against the
manifest and purchase order, priced, tagged and delivered to the sales floor.
This takes time so please be patient.
SPECIALS should be saved for just that - something special that requires a
particular dress cleaned, a couple white shirts laundered until your regular
laundry is done, suit cleaned for a special occasion that comes up unexpectedly
or times like that* Please don't abuse the "Special" privilege. We try to ke ;p
the price of a "Special" at & minimum to cover the cost of handling but if
everyone uses the privilege at one time we’ll have to hire more personnel to
take care of it and this will consequently raise the price. Protect your priv
ilege. Just a reminder regular, laundry takes approximately three days and
dry cleaning takes approximately two days.
CHRISTM\S CARDS will be on display within a week with a great selection of beaut
iful cards and tree decorations, lights, etc., that go for the best in holiday
decor in your home'
JUST A REMINDER that regular laundry takes only approximately 3 days and dry clean
ing just 2 days (approximate average ).
