aa SIX—E 1,000 Definitions Or Classifications In Paper Industry Odd Names Found In Catalogue Standardized For the Trade How many kinds of paper can you name? The layman might name and define 100 or more if he thought hard. But the paper industry has more than 1,000 classifications and definitions. Some years ago a committee repre- senting the major mills, manufac- turers and paper supply houses of the country set up a list of definitions which now are standard throughout the industry. It starts out with “abrasive paper—a good grade of manila wrapping paper, in many weights, coated with glue and an abrasive material such as_ sand, crushed quartz, garnet, emery, car- borundum etc.,” and concludes with “zine liner—refers to the use of zinc plates on top and bottom of each sheet of paper in making the plaster book.” In between there are more than 1,000 papers: Acid-proof, air-dried browns, albuminized, barber dried, beer plaques, blasting, bogus, cake board, calf, Cambridge Bible, cart- ridge—etc., hundreds of odd names of material for odd uses in life. Paper Is Aid In Civilizing World Among some peoples in remote parts of far countries every man’s actions are under suspicion. On the Arabian desert the merchant and traveler are met on approach to camp or village by armed outposts. In the march of civilization, such practices gradually are disappearing, Jargely as a result of the influence of communication among people. Were it not for paper, which is serving as a medium for transmitting thought, it is safe to say the entire world would not yet be emerged from its former state of civilization. First Salesman Bernie Merton was one of the two first salesmen for the Carpenter Paper Co., after a business was established in Oklahoma. Merton and Wil- liam McDowell were employed by the late L. F, Leach when he opened a warehouse at Guthrie. Merton now is in business in Guthrie, and Mc- Dowell is in the theatrical business in Cherokee. Folded Paper Gets Small Quickly Anyone experienced in binding or folding paper knows how few times a sheet can be folded before it comes down to a tiny square. In order to make any large number of folds in a sheet of paper, a tre- mendous size is required. If one wanted to fold a piece of paper mere- ly 54 times, it would require a sheet 185,000,000 miles long—long enough to reach to the sun and back again. Movable Type Helped Paper making from linen and cot- ton rags received its first great im- petus from the invention of printing from movable type. Gutenberg de- vised the type in the fifteenth century. Old Rag Picker In Paper Business, Too The lowly rag picker who makes his living by rummaging through the ref- use which everyone discards is really a member of the great paper industry. It is through his untiring efforts that much of the world’s rags are collected that ultimately find their way into some of the best paper. In 1831 the city of Paris passed an ordinance requiring that garbage and waste of the city be carted away so promptly that the ‘chiffoniers” or rag collecters had. no opportunity to ex- amine it. As a result, they rose against the police and created disorder. THE DAILY OKLAHOMAN ‘Paper Crumbled Into Dust, And With It, All Civilization’ An inspired publicist, writing in a pamphlet published by the Neenah Paper Co., Neenah, Wis., has specu- lated on what would happen to the world if some evil alchemy should destroy all paper in a twinkling. “Before my startled eyes the morn- ing paper, folded neatly beside my mail, fell gradually apart and crum- bled into dust. As I watched, amazed, several magazines did likewise. Hor- rified, I seized my mail and began frantically to open it. Even as I worked, envelopes, letters, checks, a telegram slowly went to pieces in my hands. My desk was littered with gray dust. “Memoranda of the day before, my | civilization.” |tion,” only to find that paper every- SUNDAY, JUNE 8, 1941. calendar, blotter, telephone directory withered away. Even the pictures on the walls turned to empty frames, Inferior Papers Lost Too Rapidly Cotton and linen fibres make the most durable papers. There are books and manuscripts by the thousands in libraries of the old world—many of them hundreds of years old—which are still -trong and durable, In contrast to this, papers made of cheaper materials during the World war are already going to pieces with decay, so much so that governments have discussed this threat to price- less records around the council table of the league of nations. Power From the Tide More than 200 years ago the So- | ciety of Gentlemen in England pro- posed that paper mills be set up on barges or flat-bottomed boats on the Thames or other navigable rivers in England. The object was to tap the power resulting from the ebb and flow of the tide. staring at me with vacant glassy eyes. In a sudden panic I dialed “informa- where was vanishing. “Government, business, transporta- tion, printing were paralyzed. A fron- tic people watched currency, securities, legal documents, life insurance policies decay into nothing. Great industries saw blue prints, orders, files, pay rolls, records, everything disappear. Li- braries were gutted with this plague. Our law and the treasures of literature were gone.
