Don’t use ‘fancy’ towels to clean your gun

As previously mentioned, I’ve made the trip to north-central Missouri with my mother so she, my aunt and my uncle can start going through my grandmother’s house. After checking in to a hotel, Mom and I found this sign in an ice bucket with a few small towels:

PLEASE NOTE

In an effort to keep our towel supply looking its best, we have placed these pieces of stained, but laundry clean, toweling here for your use in cleaning guns, fishing equipment, boats, autos, shoes or any other use needed.

YOUR COOPERATION IN THIS EFFORT WILL BE APPRECIATED.
