After reviewing literature regarding the history of paper towels. I discovered that paper towels, also known as the “kitchen towel roll”, was invented in 1931 by Arthur Scott in Philadelphia Pennsylvania. Arthur along with his two brothers, are the founders of The Scott Paper Company. Arthur got the idea of inventing paper towels from in article he read regarding a teacher providing her students with soft paper when suffering from colds. Arthur received a railroad car full of paper during a routine shipment which could not be used via toilet paper. He decided to sale this paper to restaurants and call it “Sani-Towel”, this was short for “Sanitary Towel” (n.d.) Today this towel is referred to as “Paper Towel”.
