This company has kept the same message format over time; and the same pink color that makes messages easy to see. The pads are big enough with wide lines and spaces so that I can write naturally when taking a message. I don't have to squeeze things in; and there is always the back side.

The format has recently been changed, so the picture you see is NOT what you will be getting. The gray area with the boxes to check for "Telephoned," "Returned Your Call," etc, now shares space with the section where you write the caller's information (see photo), so there is now not enough room to write out a full phone number or an entire company name. The entire thing is also off-center, which isn't a big deal for taking messages, but it does drive me nuts when I look at it.

    Comments about Adams® “While You Were Out” Message Pads:

    I use this product daily,I am very unhappy with my latest purchase of this product. The print appears to be exactly the same but the quality has greatly diminished. Especially the backing, the paper came away from the backing and now I'm left with this flimsy pad of paper that wont tear straight.

                  Comments about Adams® “While You Were Out” Message Pads:

                  We mainly use these for phone messages and have bought them many times in the past. However, the layout has changed: they moved the boxes for Telephoned, Returned your call, etc. next to the area for writing who called and phone number. While this gives more room for the message, it does not leave a lot of room for company name or phone # unless you write really small.
