FROM THE MAILBAG
Transfer Marks
Dear Aunt Daisy, The other day you were talking about removing transfer marks. Well, I stamped two waggon covers with a transfer in each corner, and afterwards did not like the design, so tried various methods to Temove them — methylated spirits in-cluded-without any result at all. Then I filled a saucer with eucalyptus, and put one cOrner in for about 5 minutes, afterwards rubbing the offending transfer; and to my delight, it all came off. So each corner was done the same. I washed the material in warm soapy water, and there was no further sign of the transfer. Since then I have treated different stamped transfers with equal good luck, and, as we know, eucalyptus does not harm material, so one need have no fears about that.Feilding.
