The Flood Recovery

Cleanup in the aftermath of the 2020 building flood

Cleanup in the aftermath of the 2020 building flood

Unfortunately, as we conclude our 90th year in business, we are faced with an existential threat that can only be met by calling on our global community for assistance. We have experienced two catastrophic events: the COVID-19 pandemic, which has decimated small businesses world-wide; and recently, a building flood that destroyed our back office and inventory backstock.

We have tried to keep afloat using our hardy New England grit and creativity, but simply can’t overcome the current extended challenges on our own. Funds donated to our GoFundMe campaign will provide us the cash resources to address our immediate operating needs and build infrastructure to support the store into the future.

With support from our loyal customers at this most trying time, we can continue to offer the best writing products from all over the world. We are humbly grateful for any contributions you can make. Write on!
