IF YOU'RE NEW ON ADAK, you may have noticed and wondered about the currently
barren area across from Toyland in back of the Retail Store. This was the "old"
Ptarmigan Room and is slated for complete rennovation. Equipment has been ord
ered to turn this space into a pleasant and relaxing lunch room for your conven
ience. You can look forward to a sandwich and cup of coffee and chance to re
lax on your visits to the Retail Store and Commissary as soon as re-opening
plans can be completed.
THE ADAK SOUVENIR BOOKLET will be ready soon. Watch this column for the announ
cement. This is a souvenir that all "guests" of Adak should have!
HOW ARE PRICES DETERMINED? Exchange prices are determined by the cost of the
merchandize and a standard markup schedule that considers overhead costs .arid
iearnings requirements. By this system the items of common necessity such as
toothpaste, shaving cream, razor blades and soap receive* the lowest markup. The
so-called convenience items like appliances and inexpensive cameras are assigned
a higher markup. The markups applied to retail merchandize range from seven and
onehalf per cent to 25 per cent. Markdown sales are conducted by exchanges only
to reduce inventories of slow-selling merchandize.
Net annual earnings average from six to seven per cent. These earnings...approx
imately $50-million a year—are used to support Navy morale, welfare and recreat
ion programs, which would otherwise require tax dollar support.
NOTICE—Anyone having a good 35MM slide of the housing area please contact
Navy Exchange Office, Extension 530. It is needed for future post cards.
