Release Company History:
 Scott
Paper Company was founded in Philadelphia by Irvin and Clarence Scott in
1879. Brothers Seymour and Irvin Scott ran a paper commission business
for twelve years, but the poor economy in the 1870s forced them out of
business. Irvin and his younger brother, Clarence, then decided to form
their own company out of the remains of the first. Irvin reportedly borrowed
$2,000 from his father-in-law and added it to the $300 the two brothers
had to form the capital of Scott Paper Company.
In 1907, Scott Paper introduced the
Sani-Towels paper towel, the first paper towels. They were invented for
use in Philadelphia classrooms to help prevent the spread of the common
cold from child to child.
• Peelers
The nineteenth-century created numerous
kitchen use inventions: toasters, potato mashers, apple/potato peelers,
food choppers and sausage stuffers were all invented. Over 185 patents
for coffee grinders and over 500 patents for apple/potato peelers were
patented in the 1800s. Early peelers were made of iron and the patent number
and other information was included in the casting. Peelers ranged from
the familiar and simple round swiveling rod with a knife blade that peeled
skin, to contraptions full of gears and wheels that could peel, core, slice
and section. There were separate peelers designed for different fruits
and vegetables; there were even peelers that removed the kernels from ears
of corn.
