      THANK YOU MR. GAYETTY!

   It's December 8th., "Toilet Paper

Appreciation Day!" It was on this date

in 1857 that Joseph Gayetty began selling

toilet paper in the United States. There's

another similar day in August marking the

day in 1871 when the commodity was first

sold on a paper roll. In 1894 both forms 

got some competition when the Sears

Catalog was published! "Splinter Free"

toilet paper didn't come along until 1935.

Guess you just had to take your chances up

till then. We had two  paper producers

in our area up until last week. Cascade Company

shut down its Pittston Township factory on 

Friday. Charmin still operates a huge plant

just outside Tunkhannock. Given the situation

in 2020 you'd think this would be Toilet Paper

Year! There's still a big demand so producers 

are still.....cleanup up! Hope you've got a good

supply and that all your NEWS is good.
