No, they didn’t form a union! They come in a nice (3)-compartment tower with a colored top and bottom, and clear sides. What are “they”? Great question. They are the eternally useful fasteners we all use in offices, both at the home office and the office-office. You’ll get (50) paper clips, (50) push pins and (10) binder clips, all in the same color as their matching 5” tall x 3” dia storage tower. You pick: orange or blue. If you’re an Illinois, Syracuse, Clemson or Florida fan, order one of each.
