WHAT GOES AROUND, COMES AROUND

Everyone knows what a hassle e-mail has become: You have to CLICK it open, then read it, then CLICK again to file it, then do it with the next one. Man, what a bother! That seems to be the thinking behind a push by fine paper manufacturers Crane & Company, which is touting its line of “Correspondence Cards.” Making its case, the company states, “Measuring only 4 1/4 by 6 3/8 inches, it packs a punch far outweighing its size. A note of thanks, a note of congratulations or a note of a job done well is quick, easy, convenient and creates a lasting impression in an otherwise ephemeral world.” Eh, maybe. Last time we got a note like that, as impressed as we were, we thought, “Man, this guy’s got a lot of time on his hands.” But maybe that’s just us. Judge for yourself at Crane.com.
