Unit offers discount price on art, architecture tools After six years of buying art and architecture supplies. Hank Hildebrandt decided there had to be a better way. He and Bruce Cavin rented the little store at 1031 Q St., scrounged wood for shelves, and went into business because they were "tired of being ripped off at the book stores " "Business" isn't really the right word for Unit because they don't get paid for their work. The store is strictly a non-profit student service. "The response has been okay, but not terrific," Hildebrandt said. "The word is kind, of out that we don't have a large variety of supplies, but we hope students will be patient with us because we're building our stock all the time." For people needing just the basic stuff, though, Hildebrandt said it's worth walking three blocks past the bookstore. "We sell lithograph pencils for nine cents. At the bookstores they cost 35 cents. The cheapest you can get canvas in town is at Ward's for about $1.70 a yard, and we sell it for $1.50. "And we've got a pretty good price on newsprint pads because we buy it in bulk and glue it together ourselves." Unit gets its supplies at a 40 per cent discount. It keeps 25 per cent for overhead and passes on a 15 per cent savings to students. Savings on various items differ, but Hildebrandt said prices will at least meet, and usually beat, bookstore prices. Sketch books, he said, are currently being sold at a loss. "Our overhead's always the same, so the more people that buy stuff, the more savings we can pass along." If all goes well. Unit will add more kinds of supplies and services. Architecture students sometimes need to use a blue line copier, he said, now available only at Pat Ash Cameras for a dollar minimum a sheet. Unit is trying to rent a copier, and would then let students use it for twenty-five cents a sheet, Hildebrandt said. Some supplies aren't very heavily stocked because Unit gets shipments in twice a week from Omaha if you need something they're out of, Hildebrandt said, they can get it within two days.
