You probably won*t recognice the Main Retail store when you come in Tuesday, The
entire wall between the Store and the old Ptarmigan room will be gone and a lot of
much needed additional.space added to the store* This will result in s'ome changes
in the store layout and better service.to you, the customer. One of the things .
that will change immediately will be-the access to the Special Order Desk. Special
orders will still be taken“in the Navy Exchange Office but outside of normal store
hours, patrons will have to use the outside rear entrance (next to the Post Office)
to gain access to the office.

Speaking of special orders x .Christmas time is drawing near. If you intend to buy
a gift consisting of.an item that is not normally carried in the store, NOW IS
the time to place that special order. Early ordering for Christmas is a good idea
no matter where'you may be, but on Adak it’s a nexessity.
Tentative.opening date fpr Toyland is the latter part of September or the 1st 6f
October. The expansion program will be completed by then and a fine Toyland is
planned for this year. , . • :
Any day now we will see out first snows on top of Mr. Moffett. As the snow line
creeps down and the days get colder* everyone will be seen bundling up in their
heavier winter gard to stay warm and comfortable. But what of the poor old car
parked out there in the snow? If it’s going to serve you faithfully during our
long winter* a few preparations should be made. To mention a few: Wiper blades*
Anti Freeze* good battery for those cold mornings* chains* snow tires,' etc. Tak
prour ‘car to the Navy Exchange .garage for a good"winterizationn check up now and
save a lot of frustration later on.
Effective approximately 20 September* certain types of items will be moved from
the commissary Store to the Navy Exchange. Household paper products such as Kleenex
aluminum foils* Saran wrap* wax paper etc. Also making the move will be household
cleaners. Laundry and Diswashing detergents will remain in the Commissary however.
It is expected that prices will remain the same.
For ah unusual and beautiful gift for the loved ones back home, see the fine selec
tion of Jade and Hematite now on display in the store, A large shipment of Alaskan
suvineers will be aboard the next ship arid these also make a nice Christmas gift
that is a little different.
The Navy Exchange Officer is considering the possibilities of having local watch
repair service through the exchange. If you are a qualified'watch repairman, and
are interested, drop up to see the Exchange Officer.and talk it over. .
DUE ON THE NEXT SHIP.:. More pendleton bhirts, camping lanterns, boo coo records,
