Pay Pal is now a payment option. It's new to us so it'll take time to learn the "ins and outs". Presently we will do a Pay Pal Invoice for an item (or items). As the system becomes more familiar to us we'll expand with bells and whistles, buttons and carts. John B. Inks: Van Son: a small supply of Van Son Rubber Base Ink is stocked in black, two whites
and a variety of the popular colors. Van Son inks are packaged in one lb. cans; cost
