Often, on rush orders, the cards went out of the shop with the tissue interleaf. Unknowing customers presented their cards, tissue included. This faux pas became the norm and customers began to expect and even request the tissue. The purpose of Printing s Past is to preserve the motivating spirit of pride in the printing heritage, the ethic of work and craftsmanship, and the appreciation of the contributions of a free press. Free reprints and information on other Printing s Past stories in book form is available.
Correspondence is welcome and appreciated.
