Stuart Hall Fine Linen Writing Paper

[elysee]

Greetings! Does anyone know if Stuart Hall Fine Linen Writing Paper is still available anywhere in the United States? I used to be able to buy pads of Stuart Hall Fine Linen Writing Paper as well as matching envelopes at CVS and Stop & Shop, for example, and now I cannot find it for sale anywhere.

 

I did a Google search for Stuart Hall Co. Inc. and found that Stuart Hall Co. Inc. was purchased by Pen-Tab Industries Inc. in 1998. I was able to purchase the paper for a while after that but I can no longer find Stuart Hall Fine Linen Writing Paper or anything comparable. I purchased some fine linen paper sold in Staples but this paper is far heavier since it is not writing paper and it is just not a nice. I preferred the light weight of the Stuart Hall Fine Linen Writing Paper -- it was perfect for long letters while not being too light for writing on both sides of the page using either a fountain pen or a rollerball. The paper did not bleed and the ink did not smear on the page -- the paper had what I would call just the "write" ink absorbency.

 

The paper's being in a pad was great for travel and the paper was great for writing personal letters -- the pages were 6.25 inches by 8.75 inches rather than 8.5 inches by 11 inches.

 

If anyone has any suggestions regarding stores/companies that I might contact or a possible substitute fine linen writing paper, your help would be greatly appreciated.

 

Thanks!

This Spring, looking for a particular notebook, I followed the chain of corporate acquisitions (via Google) that you seem to have, and unfortunately it seems that that old, familiar brand is long gone. No more Stuart Hall?! Weird. I think their old Kansas City building was "gentrified" into apartments.

Elysee, I miss Stuart Hall papers, too. I check garage sales, church bazaars, etc.

I used to see Stuart Hall pads in the dime store. I hadn't even noticed they were gone.

Geez.

I have several of the Stuart Hall Executive personal notebooks (in storage), and yes, I do believe they have the extra ("false") front covers that I noticed later on Ampad Gold Fibre personal notebooks.

I know exactly what you are missing. It has been my all time favorite over the years. Since, I have been using Southworth Ivory Resume paper available at Walmart and other like stores. I just use my cutting-board and chop it in half width. It's cheaper than expensive stationary or other paper and has a good feel. It's not SH fine linen quality but it's close enough. If anyone has a better paper to replace the famous s.h. linen please let me know.
