Office Supplies Wholesale in Illinois

Three generations of the Pieritz family have run this office supply store since 1895. According to co-owner Deborah Pieritz, the company manages to compete against larger office-supply chains by offering products that the larger stores don't have and by making items available in smaller quanities, such as buying a single item instead of a large box or a case.

In addition to standard office supply items like pens, ink and paper products, the store offers fine German and Japanese pens, French journals and sketch books and unusual German pencils and sharpeners, custom rubber stamps, faxing and black-and-white copy services. The store also carries a line of artistic blank greeting cards made by one of the owners.

It is located at the southwest corner of Ridgeland Avenue and South Boulevard. Free parking is available on Ridgeland Avenue with metered parking along South Boulevard.
