S-3 Division S-3 Division ia GALVESTON's Friendly,' Sales and Service Division. It is staffed by men who give our home away from home the atmosphere of a quaint shopping center. Our shopping center consists of a Malt Shop, Dis- count House, Uniform Shop, Tonsorial Parlor, Tailr Shop, Cobbler Shop, The GALVESTON Laudry and Button Crusher Company. GALVESTON's Discount House is better known as the Ship's Store. Here he can spend his hard earned cash with confidence, every purchase is a bargain. On board ship there is a noticeable absence of long hair thanks to the efficient work of the Tonsorial Parlor. The crews barber shop spe- cializes in creating a neat, well groomed ap- pearance after only l0 minutes of professional attention. The Tailoring Establishment is not quite ready to compete with James S. Lee and Co. of Hong Kong, but only because of a limitation of facilities. Tailoring service includes altera- tions and minor repairs. Daily laundry service is the result of the de- dicated efforts of the GALVESTON Laundry Company. The shipis laundrymen work around the Clock to ensure that the crew always has fresh uniforms and that the oflicers and chiefs are looking their best in well pressed starched shirts and trousers. This is no easy feat. Rumor moiigers occasionally spread the word about mysterious pieces of equipment used by the mid-watch to crush buttons, tear brand new shirts fit's a popular misconception that if a shirt survives its first trip to the laundry, it's safej, and press waflie iron patterns on every- thing. These rumors are false' This is S-3 Division. The services offered are many and the hours spent on the job are long but S-3 constantly strives to give f'Friendly Service 24 hours a day.
