SAN FRANCISCANS
IN A STAMPING RAGE
SAN FRANCISCO -
One of the latest crazes to get
started here is the rubber
stamp rage.
It is a crazy-cooky decorative
art form that has aficionados
stamping envelopes, walls,
themselves and you name it,
while stores are increasing in-
ventories as fast as they can.
One executive said:
"People are using them for
letterheads, to make collages,
even to produce 'life-like photo-
graphs' with dots. Customers
go absolutely bonkers once they
start stamping.
"The catalogs have thousands
of metal and woodcut designs
which can be made into stamps
for just a few dollars. People
start scanning the pages, order
one or two and then can't stop;
it's like eating peanuts."
