Ahh paper clips. So essential yet so often overlooked. What would we do without them? How would we hold a thin stack of paper together or distribute flyers one-by-one to our neighbors? Even more important how would we store them so that we would have them ready in a paper-clip emergency? If you ever rummaged around in a drawer where you had thoughtlessly dumped the last few dozen you know what I mean. If you trim your fingernails even once a week you will never be able to pick up a single paper clip from the bottom of the drawer - and don’t even start me on the number of times I thought I finally captured one only to find it was really two (or maybe even three!) ingeniously interlinked like those puzzles your uncle gave you when you were nine years old that the instructions said could be untangled in a second except for the extra step they forgot to put in. But anyway I needed a paper clip holder so I went to Staples on-line. I found it in the paper clip holder section or wherever the search took me. I bought it. I am using it right now. It completely meets my expectation. Fortunately I did not expect much. For instance I did not expect it to walk into the kitchen and cook dinner or drive me to the supermarket or help me choose between new computers or buy a new pair of shoes. It would be nice if it did but that’s not what paper clip holders do. Few of us truly appreciate the thought and effort that go into making paper clip holders. They don’t just pop up out of the ground. (Well actually the plastic part comes from chemical factories that get their feedstock from petroleum by-products that come from underground wells and the metal part comes from underground mines). So be kind to your paper clip holder. And if you need one Staples is just the place you should look.
This is a marvelous device. So versatile. I can put many different sizes in it's enormous reservoir. One issue however the plastic clips won't adhere to the access portal. Perhaps a plastic magnet would resolve this issue.
