Now, the store is stalked with merchandise ranging from cookies to mouthwash, and deli meats are available. A lifetime Whitby resident, she has watched the town grow and expand for close to a century, and she bas mixed feelings about the Whitby of today. I'There are so many people here now. I go downtown and don't recognize anybody. It's flot like it used to be. But you like to see things booming, and not dead like it was in the 30's. Boy, was it dead!1" The store is now being run by Bernard Turansky, one of her three sons. She also has a daughter who lives in Whitby. "My kids always say, 'Is having this store the only thing you like?' I say, 'yes', that's how I got it in the first place. There's nothing else I would rather do." By DONNA DONALDSON You will not find Clark Kent (alias Superman) at this Daily Planet. But you will find a very en- thusiastic Lino Natoli, manager and partner of the new magazine store at the Whitby Mail. Ray Buczynski and wife Helen VanderByl are the principal owners of Daily Planet. They han- <11e ail« busine§,s aspects and gave the store the ovèraîl look. Natoli, who lives in Oshawa, previously owned Record World in Kitchener and managed Ail Booked Up, a magazine store, in downtown Toronto. "Whitby has really grown, there's more of a cultural awareness in this area, " says Natoli. "There wasn't much of a variety in foregin magazines here, and they need somfthing like this ." Daily Planet bats about 1,500 dif- ferent magazines and expects an upward of about 2,000. Trent News in Cobourg is a major distributor and handles about 70 to 80 per cent of the magazines in the store. Natoli says they have ordered al types of magaz ines to see what people will buy, and then they wîll " weed it out from there. " They will also special order magazines for their customers. With certain magazines, Natoli. says, "It's amazing the kinds of magazines people are buying. You think, who the heck will buy these? Then you find out that they really do seli. " Besides the enormous variety of magazines, the 1,370-sq. ft. store also seils paperbacks, newspapers, comics, crossword puzzles, how-to cassettes, cigarettes and candies. 11 can't believe this is hap- pening," says Natoli, "We've had an excellent response since the store opened on Feb. 24. More and morepeople are hearing about us, coming in, and giving us good compliments." One customer commented that she usually had . to go to Toronto to find her favorite magazine, so it was great to have this store in Whitby. The magazines ail vary in price. The most expensive is now Interior Design Buyers Guide which seils for $20. The store will eventually have an Italian shoe magazine that will seli for a mnere $50 to $60.
