Go Back to School in Style with Carolina Pad! - Giveaway

No matter what age your child is you can send them back to school with Carolina's Pad great, stylish school supplies!

How It All Started The Carolina Pad story begins in 1945 in Charlotte, North Carolina. That’s when Joseph K. Hall Jr. and several business associates managed to scrape up enough money and equipment to launch a school supply manufacturing company. Joe had been operating Hall & Morris, a school supply wholesale business in Belmont, North Carolina. The new company, Carolina Pad, offered composition books, notebook paper, primary tablets, pencils, crayons, and other school supplies. A former teacher, principal, and coach, Joe was excited by the new company’s offerings.

Carolina Pad continued to sell school supplies in the market formerly serviced by Hall & Morris. But since it was now in the manufacturing businss, Carolina Pad had a lot more products to sell. To get an edge over larger, more established counterparts, Joe sold products directly to schools in the Carolinas and Virginia — often out of the back of his truck!

Joe Retires the Truck By selling notebooks with more sheets at lower prices than competitors, Carolina Pad was able to get a foothold in the market. Over the next few decades, this strategy, along with Joe’s philosophy of quality and value, placed Carolina Pad on the road to success.

Though the company hit a few speed bumps along the way, the days of selling products out of the back of Joe’s truck were over. Thanks to brands like Fatboy, Carolina Pad grew beyond selling at a regional level and began selling school supplies nationally.
