Men's wear spring 77 forecast
Spring 1977 should be an excellent
season for the collar and placket and
crew pullover knit shirts, advises
Jan Underwood, E-2 buyer. With bold
prints and embroideries out of fash-
ion, solids and stripes, especially
the "Rugby Look" should sell well
this spring and summer. The exchange
suggests that special attention
should be given to the active sports
apparel—tennis, golf, jogging, etc.
Sales in this category should compen-
sate for a loss in sales of leisure
suits and printed sport shirts.

cializes in speedy efficient service.

How the patron spends his dollar
in the Navy Exchange
Ever wonder how much of your dol-
lar is spent on what at the exchange?
The following is a customer interest
article presented to keep you better
informed about your Navy Exchange.
Total Navy Exchange, Keflavik re-
tail sales for the 1976 year was over
$6 million. There are 164 Navy Ex-
changes in the world and, in sales,
we rank 37th. The top Navy Exchanges
in sales, number 1, 2 and 3 are San
Diego, Pearl Harbor and Yokosuka, in
that order.
The proportionate amounts of the
customer dollar spent have remained
relatively constant during the past
several years. Stereo, housewares,
clothing, tobacco, cameras and food
products (Mini-Mart) in the retail
departments and beer and soda, vend-
ing and the service station within
the Service departments are the main
recipients of the patron dollar.
Commissary Store
Congratulations to the three Kef-
lavik NATO residents who recently won
$25 each in the 1976 COMSWEEPS con-
test. The winners were Joseph R.
Cogel, Robert L. Johnson and Warren
Lee Cecil. The winners will be re-
ceiving a check directly from Army
Times Publishing Company and are
still eligible for one of the grand
prizes.
Shopper Guides are available at
the I.D. desk. These are very handy
to use in deciding which item to buy
because they show you how much you
are paying per ounce or unit.
Check the special clearance areas
in the front of the store. The store
has many super buys on holiday and
discontinued items.
