Names

office max hp logo From a fascinating list of corporate name history, Hewlett-Packard and Intel.

Hewlett Packard >Bill Hewlett and Dave Packard tossed a coin to decide whether the company they founded would be called Hewlett-Packard or Packard-Hewlett. Intel Bob Noyce and Gordon Moore wanted to name their new company 'Moore Noyce' but that was already trademarked by a hotel chain so they had to settle for an acronym of INTegrated Electronics.

I am an account manager here at Grand and Toy in New Brunswick Canada. We were getting 11 x 17 tan paper for a high profile client. Boise discontinued the product to us but my understanding is that 11 x 17 tan paper is distributed through you guys from Boise. I need that paper. Please let me know how and when I can start ordering. We are looking for 3 to 4 hundred cartons/week
