Gloy, Glixit

Gloy, Glixit.

These are issued in a jelly formation. To be properly mixed, about seven parts of water must be added to the raw material. These stores are received in kerosene tins. If on hand for a long time the tins turn rusty with consequent damage to their contents. Waste occurs in this direction because of improper mixing. I would suggest that gloy, etc., be issued ready for use by the quart, etc., instead of by the pound. Its sole use at stations is for labelling and bill posting—its uses in the latter case being infrequent.
