Thursday Morning August 21st we found we
had lost all phone and internet service at our factory and
offices. We are now up and running using backup systems.
A gas utility
company accidentally cut all the fiber optic lines in North
Lansing. We apologize if you had any trouble getting through.
Our phone and fax numbers are now back working using other
lines. Thank you for your understanding and support. AT&T says
they hope to have the damage repaired by the weekend.
UNBEATABLE PRICES
ON STUDENT DRY ERASE BOARDS
Factory Direct
Lined & Unlined Dry Erase Boards for Elementary, Middle,
and High
School.
More and more schools and businesses are discovering
our amazing
markerboard surface. Teachers enjoy teaching while using this
unique surface. It keeps everyone involved and makes learning
and presenting fun. Our 30 years of EXPERIENCE in making
dry erase boards enables us to offer you superior response boards. They are made from
solid wood products and all edges and corners are rounded for safety and durability.
We are the SOLE SOURCE
for our dry erase response boards. Our classroom sets are affordable and
economical. If, before purchasing, you think you have found a
better deal elsewhere let us know. We will not be undersold.
We shop the competition so you don't have to.
Unlike lower quality markerboards, our surfaces are
"GOOF PROOF". Even if the wrong
marker is accidentally used to write on them, they can still be cleaned off. Also, say goodbye forever to
toxic smelly markers! We offer only NON TOXIC and
ULTRA LOW ODOR
dry erase markers. When tested, our dry erase markers wrote twice as much as the other standard low
odor markers, and they have a long shelf life too!
