Clover House, for those not familiar with the company, is a small
family outfit in California (owner's name is Clover!) that's been
making detail parts & dry transfer decals since "75. With no store,
outlets or web site, all sales are by mail. They do have a nice up-
to-date catalog for $5. I bring all this up as I am ready to place
an order but min. is $20 and since decals are relatively inexpensive,
I'm having trouble coming up with a $20 order. So will describe the
Burlington sets here just so you know what's available. If anyone
sees some they would like, contact me off-list & I could add to my
order, bring them to Oregon and re-sell them to you there (at the
cost of course; I'll just be happy to make the $20 threshold).

(+these are the heralds with intials inside bottom of the BR - used
for all frt cars blt or repainted til 1904 - lasted til WWI before
all reptd or scrapped)
