Staples must really be in need of stationary.Apparently the Staples firm has put in a takeover bid for the Dutch stationary company, Corporate Express. However, the Dutch company were not willing to bite at the offer put on the table by Staples. The Corporate Express felt that the offer by Staples only benefited their own shareholders. It seems though that this may not be the end of the offers as Staples has put out two in three months.
