Dear Ann Landen i have been & retail merchant for nearly 50 Yean andean Tell you thai you arc mistaken if you think a re info items 99 cents or s 1.99 is a sales gimmick. It is a sound business practice to advertise under of or under $7."everybody loves a bargain and that kind of pricing makes them think they Are getting one. Joel third Avenue Joe a heard Faun Aba a ret att Mike aft in Nark to Rie. Do to know How Ihm Kamy cad lag started Nell her did i until i ruffed few Doam letters Ham of pc who knew. Hen s got Dew Ann Lam Farr maybe those items marked 99 cent and s1,99 Are nuisance but they have an interesting history that you might want to Khare with your readers. Many Yean ago when merchandise was priced at even dollars the Derks found it easy to put an occasional is Bill or Gold piece in their pockets and Many did. When Manoa held opened us More in Chicago be caught on to this and devised a system to Stop the thieving. Well charge 99 cents instead of the even Donar Price he said. It will Force the clerks to ring by the Sale open the till put the Money in and give of elate and a ii was a Royal pain in the neck to the customer to be handed one or two cents but it kept the clerks honest lad made the business Mare profitable. No ume please. Old timer in Chicago Dor Chicago thanks for a piece of history. The things i lean final a readers Soldier s epilogue1 sums up Europe tour we pcs this week. The epilogue. The final beginning of the had. The first Day of thru rest the last Sima. It Hay arrives inevitably Anil so we go. I have read the letters la the editor far the put three Yean. There in been right there has been wrong. There ban been sacrifices and there have been rewards. But what does it All mean when we came to Europe we brought a our stereo types Trad about what Tife was like and the hardship Huttt we would Ace. Dut what was More important was thai a brought the willingness to learn to adapt and to adjust and that hat made an the difference. 1 Learned i am Jet a Man but that i can make difference if i can and if try sure it is frustrating but it Ain t the i have driven in some of the worst cities to driven in Europe Rome Paris Brussels London and i realize that they Aren t much different than new yorker Boston. I have Learned that Good driving is As much of an attitude Akita anything else. We Learned to appreciate the old and the new the ancient and the contemporary. We be Learned that new is not necessarily better. We be seen Young boy an girls gain at buildings that were old before America Wes even discovered building that have stood the ravage of time weather Man and War and arc in better condition than Tome of our big City tenements. We be seen America through the eyes of the world perhaps move afire and More frightened about the shambles of our National policies. We be seen the Dol Lar at a 13-year High and we be seen it at half that vake a seven year Low. We bad to adjust our goals but we lived we grew. I have Learned just How few the differences Are be tween the people of the world. We All laugh cry love and hate with and of our hearts and bodies we All year for peace and Are scared witless that there May be someone somewhere who might just care a Little bit less than jul. We have known the Joy that comes fro making new friends and we have known the sorrow that comes from realizing that Tome want to loll without Ever getting to know us. We All have Good and bad. America leaps and Bounds ahead of Germany concerning air pollution but Germany Bai redefined the words resource americans can build buildings High but the europeans build them to last. Of what we could do if we just got together i come away from it All realizing that our Mission Over Here is got just to prevent War not just to fling ourselves into the mighty War machine but rather something higher something that perhaps even our own congressmen and women probably Don t under stand i came on that plane three Yean ago bringing withe a Little bit of America. As i step on that plane to leave i realize that i am taking Back with me a part of Europe and that a what May help keep the peace for our children and their children to come. Little by Tittle As we americans come and go afew More people the world Over see us As people and we see them As people. A smile e handshake a con venation a Friendship. A family. Perhaps one Day when enough of us have seen that the rest of a Are people too. Then there will be no More hate. Then there will be no More injustice to others. Then there will be no More War. Then we will find out that we All Are Brothers on this one Earth learn to be adaptable in thought language an actions. Not everything has gone the Way that we like but As Eliza doom be s father said. Wit a lit Bito Luck eve Ruthin will be jus1 Bloomin Fine so you did t know the word for a toothpick the Guy will still know what you Are talking about if you ask for a Baum Stueck tree piece. So what that when driving four right turns won t a you going Back in the same direction you la see parts 01 Ger Many that most american Sec members never will that is what a tour of Germany can mean. Do 1regret it not one bit. I have grown personally professionally culturally politically and , there have been sacrifices the inconveniences being so far away from Home standing by helplessly in the face of family tragedy. I regret those sacrifices but i can t change them. Don t bemoan the sacrifices highlight the Good fans. Get out make new friends and you too. Willbe posing before you know it. Cape. Patrick t. Tever karts nne Germany article overlooked red Cross volunteers this is in reference to your article on volunteerism. The article was outstanding and Wett written As Faras acs boy scouting Church and family services volunteers Are concerned. They Are very deserving of Merit and the Community needs la know about their work. However what is the purpose of printing an article on volunteerism if the work of dedicated american red Cross Volunteer is completely ignored in the Ansbach Germany area during the past 12months, there were 8,788 hours Given by 94 volunteers far the red Cron at the various using agencies. These volunteers Are Dot Only helpful where they wort but Many of them also work As instructors in the different red Cross courses offered through All the arc offices. Also if it were not for arc volunteers the services to the armed forces sap would be really toning so if your publication is going to Nave brides on Vohma Eeris please do not overtook american Redcross volunteers wherever they Are.
