BAG IT!

    SATURDAY, JULY 12, 2025

                   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.
