OT Johnson's Paste Wax

I had bought 2 cans of JP with 'Never Yellows' on the lid. One can
went yellow and stinky. I wrote to JP and asked about this as I too
could not get the stuff in Canada. JP no longer sells paste wax in
Canada. Apparently no one uses the stuff anymore. The lady on the
phone never heard of the 'never yellows' can and was amazed that I
bought it 25 yrs ago and still had some. She sent me a cheque for
20$ to buy some more next time I go south. According to her, it's
available most anywhere.
You can't buy advertizing like that for $20,000, let alone
$20.
30 years ago I used to live in a small town that was home
to Johnson's Wax in the UK. They were maybe the largest
employer in that community and had an exemplary reputation
for respecting their employees, customers, suppliers,
neighbors et al. It's wonderful to hear the culture is
very much alive and well at that company. Kudos to them.
I must look out for their products and buy some!
