About this product
Product Information
Frau Melitta Bentz couldn't stand seeing coffee grounds in her friends' teeth at a coffee klatch one day so she invented the coffee filter and went on to make millions with her Melitta Corporation. Divorced mother Bette Nesmith was unaccustomed to using an electric typewriter that was unforgiving of errors. A freelance artist, she brought a tiny bottle of white tempera paint the next day and created Liquid Paper.

Prompt professional kind honest communication. Shipping took some time for shipping partner to connect w/USPS, but this is to be expected w/economy/media mail. This shipping method allows the proprietor to offer free shipping and good prices on their items. It was only 12 days from purchase date to delivery date. Item was listed as Very Good condition and arrived in better than described condition. Deck is complete, cards, book, and box are like new. Great price! Thank you very much! 5-stars!
