first "take one" holder is down

The Pedestrian Propaganda "take one" holder didn't fair so well through the two days of rain. It was under an awning (overhang) at the train station so it didn't receive direct rain. But the general wetness (maybe wind-blown water?) made the stamp in the back stick to the holder. Most of the stamps themselves were just fine (a little curly, but not stuck together). However, the holder itself more or less fell apart -- it ripped along the folded edge that makes the box which makes sense since I score that line with a stylus to get a clean fold).

The upside is that nine were missing! That means that in just four days nine were taken (and therefore distributed). I'd say that's a pretty good rate for a fairly small train station (Lansdale station) in a relatively low traffic area (the holder was mounted on a pay phone around the back of the station -- though maybe the pay phone mounting had something to do with the success).
