Adams Message Pads
I been using these for approximately fifty years. I would find it hard to operate an office without them! So glad they are still available.

While You Were Flimsy
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.

Great for the office--just don't use gel ink or a Sharpie.

New format is no good
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 thin...

Product is good, but in a large package
Easily used for phone messages. Well-selected preprinted headings. Don't need that many pads in a package unless you have a large office and have a shared storage cabinet.

Would buy again
I take messages for a hauling company, the block with all the checks could be removed and a small section to write in "Telephoned" "came to see you" leave more room for #'s

We always purchase this product.
The message pad is used regularly in the motel office . We do not have phhones in the rooms so the pads are essential.

Changed layout doesn't work
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.

Some Things Will Never Die
With voice mail, email etc. there are times when we still need to take hand written messages for people. I hope this is an item that will not go away!

It's Pink!
Uh, it's a "While you were out" Message pad.
Now what's the point in /rating/ that.
You can write a note on it.
Higher ups wanted it. Me, I just scribble on the back of an envelope.

Great Message Pads!
We use these message pads for home and business.
Larger print than others I've purchased in the past and pads are a great size to put next to evey phone in the office or home. Color makes them easy to pick out of other mail and papers that might be on the desk. A prominate, large square to check if message is URGENT. The best message pads I've ever used or seen.

Bright pink stands out
I like the color. The bright pink stands out among my papers. Plenty of room for a message. Some other brands don't give enough message room.

Some Things Never Change
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.
