Two messages.  The old Hamilton Cases were much superior to the other brands.
But quality decline rapidly in the 1980's and indeed the last cases we got
here at Georgia were no different in quality than the other top line brands.

Didn't Hamilton merge with Mayline about 10 years ago?
 
Anyway, the Mayline Company, Inc., 619 Commerce St., Sheboygan, WI 53081
has 5-drawer units that will hold 36"x48" paper.
 
We have both brands here, and the Maylines are holding up much better than
the Hamiltons.  (not a paid endorsement)
