. . NAVY EXCHANGE
ADORNMEHT TO BE ADORED is one way of describing the new shipment of Hematite and
Alaskan Jade Jewelry just received. Set in silver this jewelry will give you
years of service and serve to remind you of your tour on Adak. Small but prec
ious at a very low cost for such lasting finery it is an ideal gift for the folks
back home which can be easily mailed.
COUNTDOWN FOR MARKDQIVNS is what one patron suggested when she ran into the store
breathless, but in time to purchase two sots of the costume jewelry which was
marked down to l/b of its original price. These items go nearly as fast as a
missile taking of*f f®r space but our Store Manager says he is really to busy to
stage a countdown on items which are marked down. There were rugs, bedspreads &
many other items on sale last week but you can’t wait until that afternoon to
decide you want an item you saw on the markdown table that morning. Mine times
out of ten it won’t be there when you get back. Check the markdown table every
time you visit the store.

THE EGG HOG SETS that were reduced for clearance went fast to the - same smart
patrons who are probably taking advantage of the special reduced prices on
selected bottle goods now being featured at the Package Store located at the
rear of the Club Caribou. Age doesn’t hurt the contents of these bottles and if
you plan to do any holiday entertaining when it’s snow-time again here on Adak
you will be ready. The Store is open on Tuesdays and Fridays from 1700 to 1900
and Saturday 1400 to 1700.
TV ACTING UP? Radio and TV troubles can be cured by calling 265 during the eve
ning or 530 during working hours. Time was when you couldn’t tell if it was your
set or the station acting up and you had to call a neighbor to see how their set
was working but LTJG WEBER and his AFRTS crew have been working doubly hard to
produce the finest picture possible and many say that it has improved their re
ception as much as 100%. So if you aren't getting good reception now, its your
set and it's time to get it fixed.
SPEAKING OF FIXING. .The Service Station is swamped with last minute requests for
people getting their cars in condition for the safety inspection. If your car is
one of those needing attention we will take care of your problem as soon as poss
ible. Many of our customers have requested new tires and double orders have been
submitted to take care of the demand.
PACK IN THE GOOD 'OLE DAYS. . .SCHULTZ our friendly Laundry Manager kept talking
about the free lunches, nickel beer and sawdust on the floor and we thoughtve
would meet him half way by featuring FREE COLD SANDWICHES and 10 CENT BEER at
the Club Dayview from 1900 to 2100 Saturday, 22 July and at the Club Caribou from
1800 to 2000, Wednesday 19 July, P.S. There will be no sawdust on the floor.
AS WE GO TO PRESS the manifest for the ship arriving this week was not available
but new merchandise is sure to be on board and should be on sale soon. Meanwhile
new merchandise continues to be placed on the shelves each day which keeps the
warehouse an d sales floor busy. If you hear about a new item (news travels fast,
we know) and arrive at the store to find none on the floor, check with LEWIS, SHI,
the Store Manager or Mrs, Betty Lijewski, Head Sales Clerk to see if there isn't
one left in the warehouse. We don't guaruntee to always..have one left but if
there is - you can rest assured we would like to see you get it._
