707-823-7301. This is the last catalog that Jane and I plan to publish. Hopefully, before long there will be a new owner who will continue the Clover House tradition. In the meantime we will continue the business, but at a slower pace."

Through the years, Russ Clover has been a great guy to work with. While not one of his biggest customers, he still took the time to answer for me whatever questions I might have had for him regarding his products & techniques. His catalog is also a treasure trove of cool artwork for older freight car design and is a decent reference source as well.

As to the continuation of the business, I hope that someone can succeed. But I really wonder how much longer dry transfers are going to continue to be made. It seems that fewer & fewer people are still practicing this type of printing.

Best wishes to Russ in finding a new owner for the business and in his retirement!
