BAG IT!
July 12th is "Paper Bag Day!" The
paper bag has been around since the
19th century. It was invented by an
American. Francis Wolle came up with
the invention in 1852. But he got his
patent on July 12th of 1859, hence
the observance on this particular date.
After receiving the patent Francis and
his brother started the Union Paper
Bag Company which is still in operation
today! Paper bags are both handy and
environmentally friendly. Not sure I'd
want to use one in a tough situation
though. They always "fold" under
pressure! Hope you're using paper
bags for your groceries and that all
your NEWS is good.
