"Time stops in Pieritz Brothers, which manages to be magical and practical all at once. If they don't have it, they'll order it. But while they do you can peruse shelves full of art supplies, school supplies and office supplies...but also art installations, vintage goodies and a few oddities too." - Julie Shumacher & Brett Burwell

This is a great shop! Definitely recommending it. Made me long for the friendly days of local 'mom and pop" stores that really are attentive to needs of each customer. I came in looking for a unique type of paper after searching for hours on the web and at large office supply stores. In 5 minutes, the very kind owner of this store solved my problem with some friendly advice and good humor. Thank u sir, the paper u sold me worked and you made my day. Visit this store for a wonderful up close "un- Walmart" experience!

Brick and mortar, real live intelligent people there with experience. Cool old Typewriters!!! To hell with online stuff. Go touch something real, pay cash, feel happy. This place loves customers. I used to work here! Support hard working businesses and people.

This is a wonderful store .you can meet your business needs with envelopes, copying or mailing supplies. Get any number of original cards or calendars made by one of the owners .get your art supplies and journals and calendars for the year .stop and look at the typewriters from another age. enjoy yourself.

John is one of the biggest Treasures of Oak Park. He has an encyclopedic knowledge of writing implements, paper stocks, and other office supplies. He also has a wonderful background in antique typewriters. John is helpful and his store is absolutely the best office supply store in Oak Park and Beyond.

This is a small neat shop with all sorts of niche items.
If you need a typewriter, fountain pen, some semi-obscure type of printing equipment, or even more mundane pens, paper, and ink, here's the place to go.
The owner was incredibly knowledgeable and friendly.
Check it out if you are in the neighborhood.

My favorite store when I'm in Oak Park. It's fun to shop there, to find a treasure or a friendly face.

Small shop with some hard to find items but overall very specialized so may not have what everyone needs. I like the idea of buying local and this one has been around for a very long time.
