NnVY EXCHANGE NOTES
OUR EXPANSION PROGRAM is-progressing rapidly but with progress must come some in
convenience. Within'the next couple of days the entrance to the exchange building
on the North or housing side of the building will be closed. The bus stop will be
changed to the South or parking lot side of the building and all shoppers will have
to enter via the Main entrance. We realize that this will mean a slightly longer
walk for fir few of .the -residents of the nearby housing area but we are sure that
you and all of the rest of our customers will be more than compensated for the in
convenience by a more spacious, attratively displayed .and well stocked Navy Exchange
IF YOU’VE ADMIRED some of the fur parkas seen around the island (and who hasnft) oui
Special Order Desk will order one for you or yours. In fact you can order nearly
anything from the Special Order Desk (except of course, girls, fella’s). Gift
suggestions such as China, Silverware, Crystalware, Diamond Rings, Cameras, and

IN MANY PLACES IN THE LOWER ’43 the white sale in August is a means to get the
4 customers to purahase blankets that aren’t used during the summer months - but
regardless of whether you live on NorPac, Amulet or New Village August in Adak

midsummer white sale we’re featuring a sale on blankets, sheets, pillow cases, and
other like items so hurry while the selection is at its best.

water and wants to change lures.
THAT FIRST CUP OF COFFEE has been said to make or break a marriage. We don’t know

'Exchange if your coffee hasn’t been the best lately. It couldnrt be easier to brew
.good coffee with any one of the models available. Just follow the simple directions
