Didn't know where to put this thread. Short story. Wife's best friend teaches mentally challenged kids three day's a week at no salary. Three years ago i gave her a box of pads for the kids to write on.Ampad no longer makes them and they told me i would have to find a office supply company that dealt in discontinued office product's These little kid's ran out of the pads and nothing else will satisfy them . they know the difference somehow and i don't know how. They look a little different, but very small at that. it is a Ampad Scratch pad 3x5 part Number 21740.. Contacted Ampad and they said Walmart was there biggest customer and didn't want any longer. They weren't very helpful at all and i don't know how to find office supply company's that deal in discontinued items. I checked Amazon and Ebay.Lady is at wit's end and said the kids refuse to do anything for over a week.

Don't have a sample left but have the package and wrapper it came in.Tried the 21730 that they make now and bought 100.00 woorth and gave it to her and she said they knew immediately. That one is stark white and the 21730 looks like it got old and dirty. It is made from recycled paper. Now stuck with about two cases of pad's. Oh well, maybe they aren't as challenged as i thought. I'm going to keep looking as the teacher does it for free and probably spends 40 hours a week with them for nothing.Feel sorry for her.

Thanks Wil, the looks of number 21730 and 21740 is significant.The former is very stark white and crisp and the 21740 is almost off white and looks old.I will give those places a call tomorrow.

Whale, did find a copy left that my wife had phone numbers on it from five years ago. Will go that route tomorrow.

No stink, i still use the rice paper and haven;t had to throw any in the toilet in over twenty years.Used to constantly have a bucket by the desk and was always turning it over.I have ruined more tickets by myself than any law enforcement has caused to to do.

Appreciate it Betall. Will give them a call in the morning. This has started to turn into a quest and is really eating into my Golf.
