Inscriptions & markings

A.E.Unkles, Tailor and Mercer, Phone 113 Port Fairy. Instructions. Insert the Shape Preserver inside the tie as far as it will go, smoothing it down with the fingers, so that the tie is stretched without creases. A creased tie will gain its original shape overnight. If badly creased carefully damp with clean cold water and allow to dry on shape Preserveer. Grease spots may be removed with Benzine, using a clean cloth, whil the tie is stretched on the Shape Preserver, and allowed to remain until quite dry.
