EDUCATIONAL TOYS...We are fortunate in having a good supply of toys that help the
educational development of both children and parents. It is a fact that some of
our "build your own" sets have caused quite a bit of consternation among parents
who "just couldn’t get it to work right" until one nite Junior greets them with
"See what I did" and he has somehow got it working. We’ve heard many comments on
how our Adak School seems to be far advanced - all the more reason to choose some
educational toys in your selection of Christmas gifts and toys.
BOWLING BALLS We hear we have a couple of prospective customers (ladies) who took
their bathroom scales down to the bowling alley to see how heavy a ball they should
order by weighing the ones they have been using. Reports from our customers who
have received their bowling balls by special order are that their average is going
up. They also like not having to look around for their favorite bowling ball when
^ they get to the alleys. They say it saves as much as 15 minutes of their time and
P if that is true and you value your time (who doesn’t) hew can you afford not to
order a bowling ball.
WHAT1S NEW? Ladies wear is usually sold soon after it is put on display in the
Shop so we seldom mention specific items in this article but new items are being
put on display almost daily. We try to place a large number of orders for small
quantities of each item so that each lady on Adak will have an "Adak Original".We
are sure the ladies of Adak approve of this practice and we will continue our
program of trying to improve the ladies wear stocks. Whenever you stop at the
Navy Exchange or Commissary drop into the Ladies shop and ask the salesgirl "What*
New?"0
