In a very old General Store in Maine I bought some postcards.  They gave them to me in a small paper sack that had a glassine liner.

It may be that the bags were old stock because I haven’t seen a bag like this for forty-five years.  Maybe the machine that made them still exists but I doubt it.  Are plastic bags an improvement over paper?  They certainly use less resources.  But this is a beautiful bag. Did I mention it has a glassine liner?
