f yaaa item A Division of the S. S. Kresge Company Limited For Your Shopping Convenience OPEN NIGHTLY UNTIL 10 Sundays Excepted » P.M. K-MART OPENS TOMORROW OSHAWA K-mart S. S. Kresge Company Limited Enters Department Store Field ; -mart, the big modern depart- K ment store opens on Thursday at K-mart Plaza at Highway No. 2. Since the firm opened its first-Can- adian variety store in 1929, it has expanded to a network of more than 100 Kresge stores from coast-to- coast -- and now launches its first department store operation in this area. "Is K-mart a discount store?" "No, says H. C. Starkweather, vice-president and managing direc- tor of S. S. Kresge Company of Can- ada' 'K-mart is a department store offering the same facilities and wide selection of quality merchandise as the traditional downtown store -- at greater savings." Mr. Starkweather adds that there are marked differences between K- mart and downtown department stores. "The location of K-mart makes for greater shopping conven- ience for suburban, urban-fringe and rural communities. Also, a large free parking area for hundreds of cars adds to the convenience of shopping at K-mart. Most import- ant, the modern design of the store, as well as its convenient location makes it possible to operate on a much lower margin, thus leading to lower prices throughout the store," As well, K-mart will be competing on a price level. Says Mr. Stark- weather: "We will try at all times to maintain a consistently lower price on all our merchandise, including a few well-known brand-name prod- ucts. The public wants quality goods at a.true-value price, and we're pre- pared in every way to satisfy that want."" "Can items found defective or un- satisfactory by the purchaser be re- turned?" "Most certainly. We will stand behind all products sold through K- mart stores. Satisfaction is guaran- teed or money is refunded." "K-mart has announced that charge accounts will be available in the store. Isn't this a costly proced- ure?"' "Yes there are some costs involy- ed in offering credit to our custom- ers,' Mr. Starkweather says, "but we feel credit is required by cust- omers when shopping 'in a depart- ment store and is another of the many conveniences in K-mart."' "How many persons will be em- ployed at K-mart?" "We require about 200 for the Oshawa K-mart. With few excep- tions all of the employees are from the Oshawa area. By the way, we are extremely pleased with the quantity of applicants. From those we were able to select an experien- ced, qualified staff for the stores." Mr, Starkwather added that K- mart will be open daily except. Sun- day, from 10 a.m, to 10 p.m. ib " K-Mart Features Credit Plan -- All K-Mart shoppers are given the opportunity to open a charge plan which enables customers to. acquire needed merchandise when ready cash is not immediately available. There are no fixed monthly pay- ments, and credit card users are invoiced only once every 30 days. A K-Mart time payment plan is also offered, with 24 months to pay on large purchases.

The merchandising policy of K-Mart requires buyers to seek out Canadian products where available ond -- with other factors being equal -- give first choice to those items over imported goods. The K-Mart shopper will be pleasantly surprised at the quality and diversity of Canadian-made prod- ucts on display, This policy is not simply a reflection of the com- pany's patriotism. It is part of a continuing endeavor to help stimulate the economy of our nation and, in turn, the economic health of the community in which K-Mart is located. Economical and Flexible. HERE 1S HOW IT WORKS: K-Mart Thrifty Charge Plan has no fixed monthly payment. Once' opened, it runs from month to month, You never have to pay the balance in full. As your balance increases (whenever you make more pur- chases), your payments increase; when your balance reduces, your payments reduce, too. You always know what you are paying and you adjust it yourself to suit your own seasonal needs, HERE IS WHAT YOU DO: When you receive your K-Mart Credit Card, you are ready to shop. When shopping, simply present your Credit Card to the Cashier who will imprint your name and address on the sales check. You can then take the merchandise with you. Each month you will receive a statement along with all the original sales checks for the thirty-day period ending with your state- ment date. This makes it easy for you to check your bill, A -small service. charge based on last month's balance, less payments and credits, is added to each monthly statement, There- fore, the more you pay, the less your ser- vice charge will be. Should you choose to pay your account in full within thirty days of the billdate, you pay no service charge. Payments on the account can be made at your K-Mart store, or mail your payment with the stub to the K-Mart Credit Office. K-Mart Time Payments Plan is also avail- able for large purchases, where you can have up to 24 months to pay. MR.
