small shop atmosphere

Small shops seem to lave
a personal touch and
friendly atmosphere that
makes shopping a pleasure
rather than a drudgery. Such
are the shops along West
Vancouver's Marine Drive
where anything from hot
tubs to:.aquariums can be
bought. .

Not only are these shops
fun to shop in but they are
fun to’work in for the many
students who have found
summer jobs there.

The reason for this is that
these stores are usually run
by their owners who are very
willing to teach their em-
ployees all aspects of run-
ning a small business.

Because these owners
offer such good training,
some of them have been able
to make good use of the
Provincial Youth Em-
ployment Program.
