We’ve been busy here getting back into the swing of things. Most importantly, you’ll find our first issue of 2014 on stands now (having trouble finding a vendor where you live? Give us a call). And, a little more sadly, we’re back to our non-holiday lives. The silver lining, however, is this: we’ve completely resumed…
Tongue-tied? First-time advertiser? Or maybe the hangup is that you’ve got a really unusual item that’s difficult to describe. We understand that you might feel a bit overwhelmed when it’s time to place your ad, so we’d like to remind you that you’re more than welcome to give us a call. When you call us,…
… if you’re Italian. Let us clarify: that lovely little symbol you see right up there? The one you use in every single email address? It’s known in Italy as the chiocciolina or small snail. And we can kinda see the resemblance. To the Dutch it’s the apestaart (monkey’s tail) and the Japanese know it as the…
First off: be grateful we didn’t opt for completely low-hanging fruit and go with ‘Sax Appeal’ as the title, because, believe us, it was tempting! That being said, we ran into a bit of a conundrum this week. You know that we’re sticklers for organization and proper categorization; not only does it appeal to our…
Something pretty impressive happened on October 28, 1886. A completely spontaneous act started a tradition (and, presumably, a nightmare for sanitation workers and cleanup crews). New York City office workers we so very moved by the dedication of the Statue of Liberty that they threw ticker tape out of their office windows, creating the first…
On this day in 1965, construction was completed on the St. Louis Arch. Not only is it included on the U.S. National Register of Historic Places, it’s also a pretty impressive illusion: despite appearing taller than it is wide, the arch is precisely 630 feet tall and 630 feet wide. It is, in fact, the…
… and now it’s time for a word from our sponsor. Well, okay. Not really. But it is a pretty good time for a word from the author. As you’re probably guessed from my snazzy byline, I’m Jen. I’ve worked at Paper Shop for eight years, so it’s a pretty safe assumption that I’m familiar…
(In the best possible way, of course.) See that? That green bill pictured above? We’d like to point out that it’s decidedly not necessary if you’d like to shop with us. October 3rd is a pretty big day here at Paper Shop; as of this morning, online subscriptions are gone. Obsolete. A thing of the…
.. where no ad has gone before. Sometimes selling stuff isn’t for the faint of heart (or print). Get your ad noticed by getting it in bold print. It’s easy to do – just ask us when you’re placing your ad over the phone. Or click “Embolden Ad” when you’re submitting your item on findnflip.com.…
… measurements. While we’ve got no particular problem with firewood sold by the truckload, pound or any other type of measurement, you’ll notice that there’s a certain consistency in the firewood ads we’ve got listed. Specifically, you’ll see that the fuel is listed by cord or by partial cord. Every wonder why that is? And…
