Hallmark appears to have quit carrying sealing wax in the past six
or nine months or so.
But most of the specialty stationery stores still carry at least a
small selection.
As an aside -- when I was growing up and listening to the song
"Puff the Magic Dragon", I always thought the line "...and brought
him strings and sealing wax and other fancy stuff" said "ceiling
wax" and I'd go around staring at everybody's ceilings trying to
figure out if they waxed their ceilings and WHY?????
It was years before I figured that one out . . .

A piece of mild trivia that seems to belong here:
The rings that men and women wear having no jewels and with
incised initials or a family crest are called "signet rings".
Q: Why is this generally inaccurate?
A: Because [originally] a signet ring was used to impress a
"signet" into the blob of sealing wax on a document. Since the
seal has to be readable the incised design on the ring *has* to
be a mirror image.

| 788.7 | Looking for Posters | YODA::BARANSKI | Hoping it's going to come true... | Fri May 20 1988 18:34 | 15 |
| As a further departure from the conference subject matter, does anyone know
of a place in MA/NH that carries the series of 2'x4' animal posters? I have
several old ones that I am looking to replace:
"The Ten Danger Signs of Love" (teddy bear)
"To Know Me it to Love Me" (Pig)
"Do you ever feel left out in the Cold" (Benji-type dog in a snow storm)
"The Truth will set you Free, but first it will put you through a wringer"
(Rag Doll half way through a wringer)
"I am wanting to be Loved" (dog)
Anybody ever seen any of these? I can't find any stores that carry a large
stock of posters in NE like in MI.

| Have you checked the poster section at the Coop? They have a whole
rack of the animal ones you see in bookstores.
