all 1 SUPPLY A close inspection of the activities falling under the general heading of 1'supply would reveal a group of thriving small businesses: hardware, stationery, dry goods, a radio and electronic shop, a laundry, two barber shops, a delicatessen, a drug store, a tailor shop, and a chain of restau- rants. And ofcourse it would not do to omit the 595,000 of pay dished out each month. LCDR C. A. Creel, SC, USN serves as 'Chairman of the Board of this neat little business monopoly, l'employing 162 men, which receives requests for every thing from paper clips to degaussing switch- boards. Over 2000 items were stocked in after GSK alone. Enough paint was ordered this year to cover eight acres. We consumed 81,904 candy bars, 182,850 packs of cigarettes and, of course, don't forget the huge demands required to meet that all important chow call. 2 Q tl iw 0 U K , N Z z 5 X X '- Q -'bfxgtkq isi s' J ' wi- Miiyfi, f ssfisxr 4 J w 3 J F Supply Officer LCDR Creel
