Because we sell anything and everything, we often get ads for the interesting, the unusual and the extremely specialized. One of the best parts of working here is that we learn so much about so many different things. Here’s where we feature an ad that made us sit up and take notice. Thank goodness for…
Saturday was Record Store Day, and we’d like to take a moment to salute the lovers of vinyl, the collectors of unusual albums (and album art) and all the folks who appreciate the rich tones of a classic LP. Ever wonder why records are black? Records are pressed from PVC, which is naturally a rather…
And the FM, too. When you tune in to catch Paper Shop Live! on Saturday mornings, we can be found in a few spots on the dial: 96.1 and 100.1 FM and 630 and 1240AM. While we’re happy that we’re easy to find, we wondered what the difference is between AM and FM radio. We…
It’s finally happened. You knew the day would come. You’ve found yourself face-to-face with an ad that says “See Picture Online”. First off, don’t panic. Secondly, go directly to findnflip.com. You’ve got the chance to check out that item that interests you. Sure, we’re exaggerating a bit, but it really is exciting to be able…
The first time we came across an ad for pipes with a schedule number, we wondered: prompt pipes? We knew that most of the piping advertised with us includes a diameter, but every once in a while, we’ll get an ad for, say, schedule 40 PVC pipe. What does that mean? Since pressure is very…
Questions. We love ‘em. When somebody has a question for us here at Paper Shop, we know that they’re either already advertising with us or thinking of giving us a try. We’re happy to help with and all inquiries, and we’ve found that a number of them are, well, frequently asked questions. Here’s where we take…
Hey! You got your photo in my commission ad! No, you got your commission ad in my photo! It brings to mind that old peanut butter cup commercial; we’re also able to put together two things that are pretty great on their own but together make something that’s simply amazing. Folks, we bring you the…
On this day in 1904, what was once called Longacre Square got a brand new name. We can get behind that; we like change, and we also understand that circumstances change. That’s why we welcome changes and updates to the ads you’ve got running with us. Perhaps it’s a small increase in the mileage of…
We do our very best to be prepared for a fun & interesting broadcast every Saturday. We’re at the ESPN studio in the Times Building in downtown Scranton bright & early. Co-host Kim’s got both her information and her speaking voice all ready to go (possibly powered by caffeine). We’ve reminded people all week that…
Today’s the 140th anniversary of the founding of the American Kennel Club (AKC for short). Without a doubt, we’re huge fans of dog shows; we’re big fans of dogs in general. We offer registered dogs & mixed breed dogs and we’re also happy to publish weekly updates from Griffin Pond Animal Shelter and SPCA of Luzerne…
