Features:

1. These large sheets were known as foolscap. Legend has it that lawyers would simply cut the foolscap in half and use the sheets for official documents. Lawyers liked longer paper so that they could take more notes than would fit on a normal page.

2. To get even more organized, use hanging folders to hang files in a filing cabinet. Most file cabinet drawers are equipped with bars along the sides so that you can hang files. Hanging folders keep all of the files upright so that papers don't fall out and get misplaced.

3. Most hanging file folders have positions for either three tabs or five tabs, with three tabs being the most common. The 1/3 Cut Tabs are staggered in sets of 3 for visibility, while the 1/5 tabs are great for alphabetical and numerical indexing.

4. As is typical with any furniture, antique filing cabinets are generally worth a few hundred dollars, ranging on average between $150-$450. The larger or more unique the filing cabinet, the more it'll be worth. Similarly, those in pristine condition with all their drawers intact can fetch impressive amounts.

Advantages:

1. Lateral storage systems arrange folders perpendicular to the front of the drawer. That makes the depth of a lateral storage cabinet around the same length of a standard storage folder. Vertical storage systems arrange the folders on the same plane as the front of the drawer.

2. Lateral (not vertical) file cabinets hold more. While vertical file cabinets are often chosen because they take up less wall space, it's the lateral file cabinets that store the most paperwork.

3. A letter size document is the size of a standard 8-1/2” x 11” piece of computer paper. Legal size documents can be accommodated by many but not all filing cabinets, so be sure to read the product description if you need a unit that can accommodate this type of paperwork.

4. Filing and classification systems fall into three main types: alphabetical, numeric and alphanumeric. Each of these types of filing systems has advantages and disadvantages, depending on the information being filed and classified.

5.Spray paint them with metal paints or textured paints to give them a new look. If the cabinet has drawers or doors, paint each a slightly lighter shade for a fade or ombre look. Swap out boring handles for stylish new hardware, or repaint the old in a new color that contrasts the cabinets.
