OUR CUSTOMERS Here is an interesting analysis of the Service wife as set forth
in a survey report by experts of Military Market and Government Buying Magazine.
"The Service wife is adaptable, resourceful, durable. She spends a great
deal of time with her children? She learns to improvise a home under the most
trying circumstances, She is young in her thinking? willing to try new things?
able to cooe with emergencies.
"She has more time available than Her civilian sister? leads a far more act
ive social life? joins clubs and is active in them; entertains and is enter
tained more? has a more extensive casual wardrobe but fewer dressy clothes.
She reads more and she is more careful ad reader as she finds this one of her
main sources of information on civilian style trends.
"The Service wife, generally unable by circumstances to purchase permanent
furniture, settles on buying expensive but portable things for the home. She
tends to buy good silverware, table cloths, linens, carving sets, china, glass
ware, odd and unusual occasional pieces, chests, knick-knacks, materials for
drapes, slip covers, and the like."
The Service wife is basically quality minded when she sets out to shop in
the Commissary Store. With this thought in mind a large portion of the stock
carried is nationally advertised brands of the highest quality.

The following was received by the Editors from members of the Public Works
Department in reply to last weeks item appearing in the Commissary Notes about
the moving of the Commissary Safes
"Some people of the Island think only of themselves, as far as wanting some
thing done. This is that certain party that was mentioned in Commissary Notes
last week speaking. The safe did get moved, granted, but lets mention the
damage that was done moving it and the hours of work that some builders had to
do after it was moved. This certain party did not state the job could not be
done, they were only trying to figure a way to do it where someone wouldn't
have to come behind them and clean up their mess. 0o!<. the safe was moved in
3 hours, but how many hours did it take to put the door and deck back in shape?
If the job would have been done right in the first place it would have saved
time and money in the long run."
