    I am always pleased with the service and the staff at Cauthorne Paper for many reasons.  It first starts with the friendly and welcoming greeting on the phone that I get from Theresa.  Everyone there is always so helpful and they are familiar with what I order on a regular basis so it makes it easier.  As well as providing me what I need on time.  And if I need it quicker they always somehow make it happen.
