Arkansas small business preserves handwritten storytelling in the digital age
Fayettville, AR
Duncan & Stone Paper Co.
Duncan & Stone Paper Company believes in capturing the moments that matter most through the beauty of handwritten storytelling. It’s the foundation behind their keepsake journals. Since launching in the Amazon store, they’ve seen exponential growth.

“We had over 120,000 customers order from us just last year and we love hearing stories about how folks are using our journals,” said Stephanie Peters.

It’s a bit of a plot twist: digital reviews leading to perfection for those who prefer handwritten storytelling.
