Navy resale systems contract spe-
cialist visits

tems Office, Brooklyn, N.Y. spent
three days with Navy Exchange Officer
Lieutenant James R. Cote last week
going over the various concessionaire
contracts let by the Navy Exchange.

Mr. Gordon's visit. All changes and
recommendations are for the benefit

"Satisfaction Guaranteed."
Shopping season is here
November is the month in which we
begin bracing for the holiday season.
It's a month of many happenings, lots
of "to and fro'ing" hustle, bustle
and shopping. It's also the time
when the exchange is busier than
usual, dispensing increased amounts
of merchandise and services.
More popular than ever
That's the status of photography
as a hobby, according to photo in-
dustry experts.
Instant picture and pocket type
cameras have made picture taking
easier and also generated interest in
more sophisticated equipment. Home
movies, with and without sound, have
also grown in popularity.
Modern technology has helped bring
the cost of photographic supplies and
equipment within reach of the average
consumer. And, Navy Exchange prices
make the hobby easier to enjoy. Visit
the photographic department and see
for yourself.
Save steps, time and money
