When a giant falls: Mrs. John L. Strong closes shop

mrs_strongThis one breaks my heart.

Mrs. John L. Strong is considered royalty in the fine stationery business…and has serviced royalty as one of the country’s oldest and most highly respected Professional Stationers.

When the Madison Avenue fixture closes, it will bring an 80+ year tradition to its conclusion. Sweet dreams, my lovely bespoke brethren. You shall be missed, deeply.

This breaks my heart. I am seeing business’s all around shut their doors. It is such a shame that we are in this shape right now. Hopefully we can continue to spread the word about the 3/50 project to save the rest of us!
