Looking at Barry's trademark info, it seems that I was wrong in stating the
above. The stuff created in the 1940s by J&J's Permacel division was indeed
adhesive and is not the same stuff as "engineer's tape."

I am still certain, however, that the "duck tape" in the venetian blind ad
is not adhesive and is simply duck cloth.
