SUGGESTIONS?? We know that many of you have Idea’s on nev/ items or old items
which we do not stock and we do our best to try to remember the verbal suggest
ions we receive on the sales floor, but chances are that many of these thoughts
go astray before we jot them down* We strongly recommend jotting these Ideas
down either at home or at the suggestion box and assure yourself that consider
ation is being given to your needs or desires. It may be wise to take a minute
of your time at this opportunity and explain briefly how new suggestions are •
reviewed and factors which must be considered. First of all, new items must
be checked against the Army Supply Bulletins (actually price agreements with
the various large Companies ) and secondly, if they are listed, we must deter
mine whether we can meet the minimum shipments stipulated in the bulletins.
This is where we run into problems. If the items are not listed or if we can
not meet the minimum shipment requirements, we must decide whether the item
would have enough popular demand to warrant buying thru a wholesale distri
butor, who normally slaps a fat 10 to 20% additional charge on the item. Our
next step is to determin whether another brand, similiar in quality is avail
able in one of the brand names we are carrying, whereby we can still meet
minimum shipping requirements and still provide the patrons with suitable
merchandise at the lowest possible cost. After these factors are run thru
the mill, it requires from 2 to 3 months lead time from date of order until
the merchandise is received and available for sale* Much of our merchandise
requires transhipping accross the U. S. to Seattle before it is eventually
loaded aboard ships bound for Adak.
MUSKIE SAYS s Did Chief Krumme ever find his dog "Booser"? The salmon are running
and the snaggers are snagging* "A word of advice - DON’T do it. YOU are not only
subject to hdavy penalty - you also are a murderer of thousands of salmon yet to
be born. If you can’t catch them legally give the salmon a break and let it die
a natural death. A salmon that is snagged and breaks loose goes into shock and
will not spawn. There are some real nice rainbows (10 & 12 inch) being taken at
Haven Pond. It appears that this lake has proved itself as good potential for
stocking. LOPEZ at the Fish Hatchery has been catching Dolly Varden and fatten
ing them up for the frying pan. If you're out that way you might stop in and
ask him if he has any in his troughs, visitors are always welcome and the child
ren will get a thrill out of seeing the fish so close* Good fishin* Muskie
