I just buy a case of 4 rolls every few years, works well enough for me. Granted, since this last move was only about 40-50 miles, buying a case was overkill. I only used 1 roll. But that's because the truck I borrowed was about 6" too short for the (...) (20 years ago, 17-Dec-04, to lugnet.storage)

(...) Thanks for all the suggestions, but I have gone ahead and purchsed 100 boxes from Michigan Box Company in Detroit. My company has an account with them, so I can just write a check to my company. Total cost $80.00. But worth the elimination of (...) (20 years ago, 17-Dec-04, to lugnet.storage)
