365 days. 246 blog posts. Fifty-one issues. Fifty-two radio broadcasts. Thousands of ads and hundreds of new advertisers. We’ve been pretty busy – it was one heck of a year! 2013 was not only our 45th year in business, it was also the year that brought completely free advertising – as of November 26, 2013…
Are you ready for some noise? We are! We’re also looking forward to some BBQ and time with friends and family. Our office will be closed Thursday, July 4 in observance of Independence Day. And that got us wondering about early Independence Day celebrations. When was the first? And how do all those fireworks (and…
The times, they are a-changin’. And to that? We say “good”! We’re happy to spring forward and adjust our clocks accordingly. We’ll still have our same office hours, and the change to Daylight Savings Time won’t have any affect on our ability to get all ads posted on findnflip.com within 30 minutes of when we…
We find that our 30 word limit on commission ads works pretty well, but we can only imagine the size of an ad containing the U.S. tax code: it contains over 7 million words! It’s that time of year. From now until April 15, tax season is upon us. And for many of us, those…

The tradition holds that if he sees his shadow, we’re in for six more weeks of winter. If it’s cloudy and there’s no shadow, spring is just around the corner. Us? We’re firmly in the…
It’s not too often that you can predict exactly what you’ll be doing in 12 days, but we’re willing to bet that a huge number of people are able to do precisely that. We can: we’ll be tuning in to the Super Bowl on Sunday, February 3. It may come as no surprise to you…
Ah. Winter in NE PA. If you’re a fan of the white stuff, this seems to be your year! Even if you’re not, you can always embrace the unavoidable and check out some winter sports. Maybe it’s time to learn how to cross-country ski. Or perhaps resolve that 2013’s the year that you finally tackle…
We at Paper Shop would like to thank you for your readership and support throughout 2012 and wish you and yours a happy and healthy 2013!
Steadfast Steelers fan? Committed Cowboy devotee? Then you’re probably either the owner of some pretty interesting sports memorabilia or you’d really like to be! We had the opportunity to talk to A.J. Hiller, owner of MMA Signatures, on Paper Shop Live! this past Saturday (check out the podcast). Collectibles – especially sports ones – are…
A rolling stone gathers no moss and neither do we! We’re fresh off the publication of the 12/12/12 Holiday issue – our last one of the year – and we’re already toiling away at the first issue of 2013, due to hit stands on Wednesday, January 2, 2013. But in the meantime, you can keep…
