Dunder Mifflin also bears a strong resemblance to Alling and Cory, a mid-sized Northeastern US printing paper, business products and packaging company. Alling and Cory had branches in Scranton, Akron (closed), Buffalo, Utica, Syracuse, Albany and Rochester, along with several other cities, including Marlton, NJ (10 miles from Camden). Alling and Cory was organized into three regions, and also appointed regional managers. Most Alling and Cory offices were co-located with a warehouse facility, including Pittsburgh, a branch briefly run (in 1992) by Thomas Scott, Western Regional Manager (former salesman). Like Dunder Mifflin, Alling and Cory faced strong competition from larger suppliers and was bought by another company. (Union Camp Corp. in 1998).
