USED ADVOCATES SHOULD BE GOOD MULLET WRAPPERS

Relax Chriis Cobler: A former coworker used to call a newspaper a mullet wrapper. One of my suppliers sent a box of rocks for cutting, shaping, polishing and wire wrapping. The slabs of rare red tigereye were protected in plastic bubble wrap. Pieces of opalized (petrified) wood were "protected" by easily torn pages of newspaper from Missoula, MT. In contrast to more durable pages of the VA, the Montana pages had a slicker feel. The higher degree of stiffness diminished its "rewrap ability" so much it didn't survive one wrapping/re-wrapping cycle without leaving holes in the paper. As leaking "mullet juice" is not desirable Advocate pages, prize winning journalistic content aside, are the superior product. Chris, what do you suppose the difference is in the two newsprints? Is rag content still a critical factor in these things? Thanks,, Rusty
