Baked On The Window
Dear Aunt Daisy, I have been wondering if you could help me with my problem. I have just ‘recently opened a little shop, The people eer had the shop before me had it for a little home cookery business and when ‘they went out they left the notices of ice creams, and pies, etc., on the window. The place was vacant for quite a few months before I took it; and as it was in the summer time this writing got absolutely baked. on the window. When I cleaned it, the actual white came off, but the writing has left its imprint on the glass. The surface is quite smooth, and if I put any powdery ‘form of cleaner on, it tends to make the marks come up again. Well, Aunt Daisy, I think I have tried just about evegything, and am writing to you as my last resource, because we think that if you can’t help us, well, no one can.-* Peggy" (Taranaki). That is awkward, Peggy. Try equal parts of kerosene and methylated spirits, shaken up very well together in a bottle, Let me know how you get on.
