Dearest Mapsters,

One of our esteemed Library Volunteers just sent me the paper wrapper from
Columbus Italian Dry Sausage, produced in South San Francisco, CA 94080.
The 8 oz. sausage is wrapped in a very nice map of Italy, probably from a
turn of the century [1900!] world atlas. The map is overlaid with the
sausage label and the nutrition facts box. And it has such a lovely aroma.
Getting fainter by the day.  Now who can beat that for a cartifact?
