A method recommended to us by Clifford LaFontaine (NY exhibition designer)
is very easy and very kind to walls:  You use a staple gun to adhere
either a piece of paper or matboard to the wall, then use double-stick
tape (like white rug-tape) to stick the label itself to the paper.
Removing them leaves only the tiny holes of the staples.  If you use
strips of matboard, the label applied atop it stands slightly away from
the wall, which looks very nice, but if you prefer no shadow lines, simply
use a thinner piece of paper.

We had tried just about *everything* else before Clifford gave us this
siimply method.
