Period writing paper

Re: Period writing paper

I don't know if any of you have a Staples office supply store near you. If you do, check out their printer/computer paper section. If your store is like my local one, they will have all sorts of really nice papers by the Southworth (?) Co. These include 100% cotton rag "resume" paper (fairly heavy stuff) and 25% cotton "laid" paper. The papers come in white, off-white (cream) and light gray. About $13.00 for 100 sheets of the "resume" paper and about $12.00 for 100 sheets of "laid." These are also available in "ream" (500 sheet) packages, which are much more economical on a per sheet basis (e.g., about $30.00 for a ream of "laid").

These papers work real well in printers (ink jet or laser) for reproducing the common lined writing stationery as described in the Columbia Rifles Research Compendium (2nd ed.).

Thank you for your citation. Do you have any information on the history of making beet sugar in Utah? I would appreciate any primary source information you could provide. It would greatly assist me in my study of sugar history in the United States and I may have to amend my article.

Character Original High White Wove from the UK is supposed to have a very similar finish to period paper and is very good for pointed pen work. It's blank, so you'll have to have the blue lines printed on it, but it's worth it to have a paper that doesn't soak up the ink when you try to write upon it.
