Quite General Store
Pens, flashlights, refill inks, stamp pad inks, "Chinese writing fluid", shuttlecocks, writing pads.
Chinese ink, badminton shuttlecocks, suyod (lice combs)-- the assemblage of a pre-department store general store. The handwritten prices by the storekeeper and salesgirls (and they are all girls) come and gone from this Manila store.
Threads of many colors, pomade, nail brushes, flint, matchsticks, face cream, tape, combs, suyod, hairnet, rice paste, sequins, "hook bra", glue ("glou"), biodata sheets.
