http://www.clag.com.au/about/about.htm http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clag_(glue) Clag was first trademarked in 1898 by Joseph Angus, manufacturer, of 216 Nicholson Street, North Fitzroy, Melbourne. The National Archives of Australia holds the original trademark application - a digitised version is available online (see References). The exact composition of the original paste is unknown but is thought to have been starch-based. Australian schools commonly request that parents purchase Clag paste for their children as part of the stationery lists that are circulated before each school year. The main reason for this is Clag's reputation for safety and ease of use. The bottle includes a brush recessed into the lid that children find relatively easy to handle, and the packaging does not contain any small components that children might swallow. The main ingredient of Clag is wheat starch dissolved in a water base, meaning that children can safely swallow the glue without incident It feels cold to touch and when applied to paper, it sometimes alters the colour of what is on it and causes paper to warp, owing to the high water content of the glue. There is an Australian slang usage of the word "clagged" derived from the characteristic of Clag Paste and can be used in place of the words, "clogged", "congested", "restricted" or "stuck". Bottle used for clag. The bottle has the original marking made by Angus P/l who trademarked the glue in 1898.Angus & Co Pty Ltd, ISM 12school, bottle, glue, clag, trademark, wheat starch

Photograph shows a large crowd of formally dressed adults and children standing on open ground in front of a leafless tree and two long (maximum traction) tramcars. The location is the new tram Burwood tram terminus in Norwood Road (later Toorak Road) at Boundary Road (later Warrigal Road). The caption's reference to East Burwood is incorrect - an error possibly made by the writer of the caption who glued the photo and caption to the blue paper. East Burwood was the name of the line between 1978 and 2005. In 1916 the new Burwood line beyond Camberwell Junction was mostly single track with many passing loops. The service proved to be so popular that the Hawthorn Tramways Trust's 10 maximum traction cars were quickly supplemented by 4 similar trams purchased from the Prahran and Malvern Tramways Trust.Yields information about the opening of the Burwood line Black and white photograph glued to blue paper with note below.
