Jack's World: Discounters' Haven for Snazzy School Supplies

Many people spot the electric red neon sign and don't let this discount gem past their sniff test of "is this a place I want to be spotted in on Facebook and what would I possibly want in here?"

While there may be a watchdog security guard rather than an anonymous "Welcome to FILL IN THE BLANK CHAIN STORE/EMPORIUM," you will quickly grasp today's economic data demonstrating why discounters are posting the best results with 3.9% sales increases.

Check out the $19.99 leather attache case - perfect for your teenager - or for your job! Fashion bags for school are under $40 and they pop with personality. Butterfly notebooks and more for only 99 cents - you can't even get water at a mid-town newstand for less than a buck. Everything on your back-to-school list or back-to-work or back-to-job hunting needs are here. Maybe some snacks too.

Thank us later after you step inside this 45th Street store between Fifth and Sixth Avenues.
