The business began by turning local red cedar into pencil slats, including wood recovered through exchanges with farmers for their old rail fences. Today, the family-owned company continues pencil manufacturing in Shelbyville, supporting local manufacturing skills and jobs. Its commitment to domestic production includes transparent acknowledgment that components come from both domestic and global sources.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e1101 Yellow Special No. 2 Pencils – 12, 72 or 144 Count\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eKeep a familiar No. 2 writing pencil within reach for notes, worksheets, lists, and everyday desk work.

Set aside a small working supply and keep the rest together for replenishment. For handwriting, sharpen to a point that feels comfortable on the paper you use. Make erasures gently and brush away the residue. If a school or testing organization requires a specific writing instrument, check its instructions against this product’s No. 2 marking.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c!-- BA:USAGE:END --\u003e\n\u003c!-- BA:CARE:START --\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCare and storage\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eUse a sharpener that fits the barrel, and stop when the point is ready rather than removing extra material. Store the pencils dry, away from excessive heat, and protect sharpened tips during transport. Avoid dropping or bending pencils because a core can break inside an apparently sound casing. Keep bulk packs in their boxes until needed. These practical handling suggestions are not a manufacturer warranty.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c!-- BA:CARE:END --\u003e\n\u003c!-- BA:SHIPPING:START --\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eShipping for this item\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eMusgrave’s public FAQ says domestic shipping can take up to five business days, with possible delays, and rates depend on destination.
