Purchase cards, costing $1 and providing 10 to 25 percent discounts from over 20 Boston and Cambridge stores, will go on sale in House dining halls Wednesday, Chairman Donald L. Bornstein '50 of the National Students Association project announced last night.
The 23 stores already signed up for the program include everything from clothiers (men's and women's) to florists, and Bornstein promises that more are coming in every day. "Fair trade" provisions in such fields as books and records, which cannot legally be sold cut-rate, limited the scope of the program, however.
The purchase cards, which are non-transferable, enable students to got on-the-spot reductions, and can be used in other areas of the country where the NSA plan is in effect. They will be good until November 1.
The program is being put into effect on a nationwide scale by the NSA.
Stores already signed up are:
J. August, men's clothes; Boylston Camera Exchange; J. F. Brine, sporting goods; W. H. Brine, sporting goods; Ada Bullock's Restaurant; Diane Christine, women's clothing; Economy Watch Co., watch repairing; Eddy's Cleansers; Stephen Farrell Cravat Co.; Joe Foster Co., shoes; General Appliance Co.; Green's Luggage Shop; Johnson Printing Co., stationery; Kay's Newport, women's clothing; Kupersmith, florist; Samuel Narcus, stationery; Paul's Shoes; Penn the Florist; C. C. Poters, general appliances; Renmore Inc., women's clothing; Richard Clothes; University Typewriter Exchange; Yoland
