Office Supply
Store Monday

The General Services Adj
ministration win open its
fourth self-service office supply
store Monday on the first floor
of the GSA central ONCE
building at Eighteenth and
F streets NV.
The self-service concept of
supply distribution was inaug-
urated a year ago at a store
in the Lafayette Building. Fiji
tenth street and Vermont av-
enue NV. Other stores were
opened later at the GSA's
Region Three building, Seventh
and d streets S.W.. and at
the Navy Annex in Arlington.
Designed to save the Gov
eminent money by eliminating
the need for individual agen-
cies to maintain sizeable stocks,
the stores are operated in much
the same way as a neighbour
hood supermarket.
Agency buyers select items
from open shelves and roll
them in a cart to a checkout
counter.
Instead of paying the bill as
a shopper would. however, the
representative presents a
charge-a-plate. and the cost
is put on the agency's account.
Additional stores are planned
| for Richmond and Baltimore,
as we'll as the District.
