No oilcloth

(1972 January 21)

I have tried all over town and no oilcloth. Gone completely off the face of the earth. I may be able to get a thin plain vinyl very much the same sometime and have my cohorts working on it. But will take time. Meanwhile if you should find any, 12" would do, the width of the material would be unimportant. The stuff here has a knitted backing, therefore heavy, is "crushed" looking. About $4.00 a yard. Just no good for this. "The wet look."
