The History of the Stapler
Have you ever wondered about the magic of the stapler? You have? Fantastic, me too. In my quest for more information on stapleless staplers, and the purchasing of said item, I came across the true history of the stapler.
As I’m sure you know, mankind has been binding, publishing, writing things and journaling since the beginning of time. So, how did they keep their pages together? Until around roughly 1860 they were using anything from glue to needles and thread to keep their pages together. They were sometimes tied together or even bound with wax drippings from a candle. These practices seem both clever and time consuming.
Around 1900 the very first patent on a stapler was filed. From there the popularity of the stapler exploded and the design of the device changed with the times. You literally went from a twenty minute binding project to a two second step that did the same job, maybe even better.
Well, with the changing of the times, and the call for more environmentally friendly products on the market, the stapleless stapler was born. This fantastic new stapler is like a hole punch, but the difference is that it has a mechanism that will punch, fold and weave the paper into a bind. This new device is good for stapling up to five pages together.
Even though a staple doesn’t seem like much, when you are using hundreds of them a day, they can really add up. This is why MOMs now uses the stapleless staplers at each of our cash registers, to help make a positive impact on the environment.

A scrapbook store introduced me to the stapleless stapler about a year ago. I too use one at work and one at home. I think it’s wonderful that your stores are using this great product at each of your registers. I do hope you are selling these in your stores as well. Once your customers see them, they’ll be hooked!

Throughout this awesome design of things you get an A+ for effort and hard work. Where exactly you actually misplaced me personally ended up being on your facts. As as the maxim goes, details make or break the argument.. And it could not be more accurate right here. Having said that, let me say to you just what exactly did deliver the results. Your article (parts of it) is very powerful which is possibly the reason why I am taking an effort in order to opine. I do not make it a regular habit of doing that. Secondly, although I can easily see a jumps in logic you come up with, I am not convinced of just how you seem to connect the points which in turn make your final result. For right now I will, no doubt subscribe to your issue however hope in the near future you actually connect the dots much better.
