Hi everyone,our today's post is going to be about first toilet paper. You can think that, is it very important to know about the toilet paper? Yes it is very important one... Because we are using it daily in our life. So it is important to know about it.
Joseph Gayetty invented toilet paper in 1857. His new toilet paper was composed of flat sheets. Before Gayetty's invention, people tore pages out of mail order catalogs - before catalogs were common, leaves were used. Unfortunately, Gayetty's invention failed. Walter Alcock (of Great Britain) later developed toilet paper on a roll ( instead of in flat sheets). Again, the invention failed.
In 1867, Thomas, Edward and Clarence Scott (brothers from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA) were successful at marketing toilet paper that consisted of a small roll of perforated paper . They sold their new toilet paper from a push cart - this was the beginning of the Scott Paper Company.
Thus i think that you have got some essential info about the first invented toilet papers. See you in next post with different info. Until then its bye from Monterines...
