paper towel
A paper towel is a, usually white colored, absorbent towel made from paper instead of cloth. Unlike cloth towels, paper towels are disposable and intended to be used only once. Paper towels soak up water because they are loosely woven which enables water to travel between them, even against gravity. Paper towels can be individually packed (as stacks of folded towels or held coiled) or come in rolls. Paper towels have similar purposes to conventional towels, such as drying hands, wiping windows, dusting, and cleaning up spills.
==History==
In 1907
, the Scott Paper Company of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, introduced paper tissues to help prevent the spread of colds from cloth towels in restrooms. Popular belief is that this was partly accidental and was the solution to a railroad car full of long paper rolls meant for toilet paper that were unsuitable to cut into rolls of toilet paper. In 1919, William E. Corbin, Henry Chase, and Harold Titus began experimenting with paper towels in the Research and Development building of the Brown Company in Berlin, New Hampshire.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title= It felt like death )〕 By 1922, Corbin perfected their product and began mass-producing it at the Cascade Mill on the Berlin/Gorham line.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title= Once Upon A Berlin Time )〕 This product was called Nibroc Paper Towels (Corbin spelled backwards〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title= Beginnings of the Cascade Paper Mill )〕). In 1931, the Scott Paper Company of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, introduced their paper towel rolls for kitchens; they are now the leading manufacturer of paper towels.
