Wow, does this bring back pleasant memories of my years growing up in then rural Hamilton! "Certo" was a part of nearly every housewife who engaged in the relatively lost art of "canning." Mom Glover put our very small Jersey "garden farm" to good use as she canned tomatoes, peaches, and various and sundry other produce. They were stored in our "cellar" in "Mason Jars;" another rapidly vanishing vestige of the past. Hey, all you fellow citizens of "Wrinkle City," do you remember how your mom melted "parawax" and poured it on top of that canned glass of jelly or jam? Remember how "ESSO" mad the aforementioned parawax as a regular staple for moms all over America? Sure you do!
