Re: acetone

Eric,

I don't recall seeing tri-color carbro prints at the U of Texas, but
there are many other monochrome prints there from the mid-1900s.

In fact, they had some color prints there by Mac McCowan that were
mislabeled as Ultrastable, when in fact they were C-Prints or
Cibachrome. I pointed this out to them and hopefully the mistake has
been corrected.
