they could start rustin up shelving units beforehand and then charge more for them, like the torn or faded jeans craze.

Those tags are not recent, I used to have one of those lil marking labeling things when I was little and i loved it! You set the dial to the letters you wanted then pressed the lil handle and out would come whatever you put it to say.. the letters were .. not sure of the right work.. not stamped but embedded maybe..

@amanda:
embossed is the word you're looking for.
My parents had one- they are the coolest doohickeys.
You can still find some at craft stores, but most people use the heat-sensitive label printers now.

Oh LOL, Milk of Magnesia. Them's for poopins. Reminds me of those old Phillips laxative commercials. That lady was so damned happy about her bottle of constipation aid!

Well, I guess I'd be happy too if it worked.

I hated it when I was a CNA and I would walk into the building and know that the nurses had given the patients on my hall milk of mag.....it was awful.

Plastic tape label guns were used from the 50s-70s. I have not seen one in ages. My parents used one to label objects in the house in order to help my little sister learn to read.

Devin -- Oddly enough, Dymo still makes and sells plastic-embossing label makers! Not as much a choice of styles and colors, but they indeed exist.

I have my mother dispense my narcotics because its easy to increase your tolerance by taking too much when you are in pain, then the medications become less effective.
