Yes, we know you probably sang that title. Perhaps even out loud. We did, too. While we never tire of reminding you that we’re pretty zippy about getting your ads posted online, there’s another feature we offer on our website: you can find the closest spot to buy a physical copy of Paper Shop. It’s…
In the most celebratory sense, of course: March 12th is Alfred Hitchcock Day. While we’re fans of mystery and suspense, we know that both are lots more fun in movies than in real life. And that’s why we do our best to help when you’re puzzled by something. If you’re feeling mystified by any aspect…
We had to say it. Had to. And there’s probably no better day to do so than on the 138th anniversary of Alexander Graham Bell receiving a patent for a nifty little invention he chose to call the telephone.

And if, like us, you need a little refresher, we’re happy to accommodate you: that amendment limited all future presidents to two terms in office. Aside from the pure joy of injecting a little history into your day, we do…
It’s said that Eskimos have over 100 words for snow. And while that’s a pretty intriguing thought, it’s simply not true. But it does point out how very important wording can be. Even in English, we’ve got a number of words to describe winter precipitation; while a dusting of snow may be no big deal,…
Remember Waldo? Sure, it was fun to hunt him down in the crowd. Sometimes a challenge is fun. But sometimes? It’s as frustrating as can be. While we’re very proud of our website and we’re delighted to make every single ad available for free, we understand that some folks like to get themselves a hard…
340 million. That’s how many tweets are posted every single day. And we here at Paper Shop contribute about five or six tweets daily to that staggering number. We’re particularly well-suited to Twitter, because we’re used to working within pretty strict guidelines to say the things we want to say; our most common ads are…
