SuperClip A paper clip is a paper clip is a paper clip. Wrong! I thought so too until I saw my first SuperClip! You haven't seen what a paper clip is capable of until you have experienced a SuperClip! It can grip over 100 sheets of paper, clasp an entire chapter in a book, secure computer printouts or secure a snack bag & never pop or slip off. The clincher is that it will still retain its shape & tension after 100's of uses. How? SuperClip is made of premium quality, smooth plated high carbon spring steel. Its patented design ensures you won't tear the papers that you have clasped either! Avoid being fooled - there are facsimiles around. SuperClip is available at office products distributors including Office Depot & selected K-Mart stores throughout the US. It comes 5 to a pack in gold or silver finishes. SuperClip is sold at Office Depot and K-mart. Suggested Retail value is $1.99 for a 5 pack. For more product information contact Ace Wire Spring & Form Co., Inc at (412) 331-3353

The Ring King Phone Organizer Desktop space is a premium commodity for most of us whether we operate from a standard desk surface or a spread out at the work station. How do you make the most of your space? Stacking items vertically rather than horizontally is definitely an option to explore. The angled telephone desk stand by Ring King is an excellent choice. There are 3 models to choose from & my personal favorite is the open 2-sided version with a side storage compartment. Now you can place the telephone on top of the stand while phone books, frequently used reference binders, answering machines or adding machines reside in the lower portion! Moving any one of these items into the storage area below helps you gain more desktop surface space while maintaining easy accessibility to the lower portion, assisting you in being more organized & neat. The unit measures 4 1/2" (H) x 10 1/2" (W) x 11" (D) The side storage compartment is great for a file folder or message pad. It comes in smoke or clear and is made of a heavy duty acrylic and looks great in any office. The Ring King angled phone organizer can be found through most of your super office stores, specialty office supply stores and major catalog office supply companies. The price varies depending on store type & geographical location and ranges from $22 - $29.95
