Magnesia Did It
Dear Aunt Daisy, Here is something that might help somebody at some time or other. I was making a frock and got some oil from the machine on it. I managed to get the spot out with carbon tetrachloride, but there was a fing left. I just put it away disgusted. However, just before I went to bed, I got the frock out and rubbed quite a lot of powdered magnesia (dry) on the place, rolled it up and left it. In the morning I brushed it all off and the place was just like new-every mark had gone. I had no idea what woul happen-just an experiment, but it worked. So I hope somebody else may henefit by my experience.
A Well Wisher
