How A Stray Cat Exposed a Mother's Heart, These Guys Use Dungeons and Dragons as a Break-through Therapy Tool and A Brief History of Toilet Paper

This is Lee Habib and this is our American stories to show where America is the star and the American people search for the All-American stories podcast go to the iHeartRadio app or every you get your podcast up next comes a story from a regular contributor Brent Timmons of Delaware taken away. I don't even like cats.

For reasons too numerous to mention starting with the fact my allergic reaction. My entire childhood, but this one turned up in the form of a newborn. Apparently it's mother likely a straight neighbor's was in the midst of moving from one place to another got as far as the middle of our driveway. I found it as I was headed out to work on Monday morning I went back in the house and told Tina annoyed because this shouldn't be our problem and squeamish because the chances of its survival. We hope that the mother would soon return to finish the transport. Perhaps I called the incident in progress. I left was going. Mother didn't show up soon.

Tina called a friend works with ask about whether moving the kitchen making backup apparently not. So she moved it off to some groundcover beside the driveway and there the kitten rest all day long. The mother did not possibly have it so happened that a cat was hit by a car down the street. As the day unfolded. We didn't know for sure but it may have been the mother To make matters worse, our young tenderhearted 12-year-old Asher found the kitten reported to his mother, who directed him to me that he is a kitten in the yard.

What should we do.

I told him we were hoping the mother would pick it up but we didn't think it was going to live with you. Let it be. At this point. The whole kitten incident was defeating. I couldn't imagine nursing and begin to consider the best way to euthanize the poor thing. Nature had a way of dealing with this kind. Surely, by Tuesday morning. She would've dealt with it so I didn't have to. Tuesday morning came and I went out early to see how nature had gone overnight for the boys went off. The kitten was lying there, where we had left should have been dead by that point then it let out pitiful me out. Nature had failed and went back in and reported nature's failure to how about I call your dad. She asked excellent idea. He had the time and stomach to deal with this before. Tina called she called our best friend back who offered to look at the Dad volunteered to take later in the day I got the means a home found My dad couldn't bear to leave you brought it home and my mother would bottlefeed it. Enjoy the company of cats in the past For them was a good fit. I didn't know the details at the moment. I assume there was a conversation between him and mom as he considered what to do with my mom suggesting he bring it back home.

I pictured him doing this because it is his character to treat my mother this kind of way. As it turned out, it may have been as much. My dad's desire as hers. I suspect they both reached the decision simultaneous, Brooke Astor settled in a blanket and aside she treated it like a newborn baby with the same care it was drinking every couple of hours in the content but the kitten should this was a good thing Wednesday morning.

Mom texted the little kitten wasn't going to stop drinking.

Mama talk to my sister-in-law about it and she knew the family with a cat who had a two week old litter of perhaps the mother Would take our little kitten after a 35 minute ride. Kitten was united with the surrogate mother who accepted it as its own, and then Thursday morning I got another text. Kitten died over.

Mom was deeply saddened by the loss of kitten. At least it was love yes that is some comfort. She said, but I can't believe how emotional I am about this. I can because that's who you are more mother at heart and all situations is what defines you as a great mother and a great person and it is why we are privileged to have you in a terrific job on the production and the editing and storytelling by Erin Phillips and a special thanks Brent Timmons of Delaware is a regular contributor. I love the way that story started with brutal honesty I don't like a lot of people, People, a lot of people aren't but in the end that tug event living well at living lonely, hopeless creature. Well, if one is heart enough to move that cat through his mom who love that Little Time It Was on This Earth and in the End, What a Salute to Motherhood and Was Solidified Brent to His Own Mom, Who Was Born to Do Just That Nurture Thing to Do. That's What Mothers Do.

As We Talked to People around the Country and Especially People Were Not in the Gaming or Working to Geek Atmosphere Culture Often Simply Assume Dungeons & Dragons Is a Video so Seekers Are Usually Describe There Is One Person Who Acts As the Sort of Head Storyteller and Referee and They Know Most of the Rules and We Can Explain This Game and That Person Is Usually Referred to As the Dungeon Master Mason at the Head of the Table and They Describe Stuff That's Happening in the World and Everybody Else Was Sitting at the Table Is Just Playing a Character in a Single Character and Have a Piece of Paper That Tells Them Things like How Strong the Character Is What Kind of. This All Takes Place in a Fantasy Much like Lord of the Rings When Their Swords Bow and Arrow. The Farmer Course Match and the Dungeon Master Might Describe Something like All of You Have Decided to Venture into This Dark Cave Where You Can See That There Are There's Nobody Growing on the Walls. There's Mold and There Is a Drippy Coming from the Stalactites in the Ceiling Here Here Because You've Heard of the Tremendous Treasure That Apparently Was Lost in These Caves a Long Time Ago You Decided You're Going to Go after That Treasure, Maybe Even You Have a Map to Help Guide You through. And As You Travel Further down into the Cave. It's Very Dark, but You Can See the Walls Have Been Carved out like Somebody Has Carved Them with Man-Made and You Travel Deeper and Deeper into This Cave System until Finally You Open up into a Large Room and in This Large Room You Can See across the Way Is a Door on the Other Side of a Very Large, in the Absence of Stretch Very Far down the Ground. But the Thing That Really Catches Your Eye Is That Hanging above the Clinging for Dear Life Appears to Be a Small No Man and He's Hanging from a Rope and He Sees You As You Walk in and He Shouts to You and at This Point in Time the Master.

This Is What You Do All of the Players at the Table to Decide What the Character Does Sort of Overcome This Challenge or the Situation so They Might Do Also to Things a Warrior Character Might Grab the No Save Him from Falling down a Arranger or an Archer Character Might Shoot a Bow Tie Rope Walk across the Pit and Save the Poor and Wizard Character Cast Magic Spells Might Use of the Rope Swing and No Matter What They Do. They're Going to Do It Together Because All the Players at the Table Are All Working on a Team Together Not Competing with Each Other Instead They Are Working Cooperatively Towards a Common Goal and in This Case the Common Goal of the Game Is Not the Most Points. It's Not Even to Achieve a Particular Goal, Even in This Case of the Example I Gave You Not Try to Get Treasure You're Trying to Tell a Story and That's One of the Really Brilliant Things about Games like Dungeons & Dragons Is at the Point of the Game Is to Tell a Story Because That's Really the Goal of the Game Because That's Really the Place That You're Trying to Get to Everybody at the Table Might Have a Different Idea for What That Story Looks like. But They Know They're All Working Towards That Goal.

And That's What Really Turns It into Brilliant and Amazing Experience As the Dungeon Master Continues to Describe Things in the World Continues to Describe Whether or Not the Players Attempts to Do Those Things Are Successful and the Players Get to Roll Dice to Help Add Randomness and Determine the Outcomes of Their Action and Get to Really Have the Most Open Ended Gaming Experience You Can Possibly Not Where They Can Decide and Try Anything That Comes to Their Minds, in a Very Loose Rule System That Allows You to Be Very Flexible with the Outcomes.

A Lot Of the Masters to My Chagrin, I Don't like the Fact That They Often See Themselves As Adversaries of the Players. There Is Oftentimes an Antagonistic Relationship Where the Game Master Sees Themselves As Needing to Challenge There's like a Hot Your Characters Are Going to Die Today Because My Monsters Are Going to Be Stronger Than Them and We Don't Do Anything like That. Our Goal As Game Masters Is Very Much to Challenge the Players but Also to Keep Them Engaged and Keep Them Excited, so We Do That by Challenging Them the Right Amount. Building on Their Ideas While They Build on Our Space on on Our Ideas Because We Are Co-Creating and Collaborating in This in This Game Where That's Often Times for Many of Our Players. The First Time an Adult Has Said What You Care about What You Want to Do so Than the Players Now See an Adult Who Is Playing with Them Really Playing with Them in a Way That Is Very Appealing to A Lot Of A Lot Of Brisbane Especially Artists Who Are Identified at School As Is Oftentimes Being Outcast People Tell Them What to Do All the Time.

Very Rarely See What You Care about What Is Something You Want Out Of Life and Said This Is an Opportunity Where They Can Push Boundaries and See What Happens When They Take up Space and Then Have an Adult Be Excited about the Choices They're Making. I Started Doing Right Now Is Dragons and Their Social Skills Largely by Accident When I Both Started Playing Dungeons & Dragons Were Pretty Young.

Got A Lot Out Of It. We Play Games with Our Friends. We Got to Use All That All the Mechanics of the Games and the Storytelling of the Game to Really Get A Lot Of Social Outlet. We Were Kids.

I Davis Was Sitting Drama Therapy Because I Had Wanted to Use the Drama Games and Experiences I Had Had As a Performer and Then As a Drama Teacher to Help Kids Help Kids Become More into Themselves and Learn about Themselves and How They Can Better and so Adam and I Met in Grad School and I Started Picking up after School Program That Was a Dungeons & Dragons Program for Kids Who Needed a Little a Little Guidance, and Social Support, and I Took the Game over and Realize That Dungeons & Dragons Is Actually a Perfect Modality for Sitdown Drama Therapy so We Started Using the Game a Little More Intentionally and Then Just Barely Scratching the Surface and Then When Mike Facilitator at the Time Left to Go Pursue Other Interests. There Is an Opening and I Knew Adam from Grad School so We Had Kind of like Done That Thing Where We We Brought Some Things in Our Personal Lives Is to Get to Know You Activity in the Very Beginning of the Quarter in Both Adam and I Brought Dice. We Knew from across the Room That Were Both Named Adam. We Both Liked Racing Games and so We Knew We Were Kindred Spirits so We Had a Great Moment, That Sort of Nerd Nod from across the Room and Then after the Class Adam Davis Came up to Me and He Said You Want to Get Paid to Come and Play Improv Games and Dungeons & Dragons Yeah That Sounds like the Best Time the Group Was Really Just Sort of Drop in Social and Then When We Came in We Started Saying We Can Do Both in the State of Sort of Masters Program Desired to Want to Use All the Amazing Theories and All the Amazing Stuff That We Were Learning and We Really Have This Tremendous Opportunity to Start Diving and Cost This. This Is Exactly What We Can Be Using All of These Amazing Theories. All These Amazing Things Were Learning and We Can Apply Them Right Here but through the Game of Dungeons & Dragons and Plan and When We Returned Were Going to Hear More from Adam John's and Adam Davis Game to Grow and My Goodness, I Never Thought of Anything like This before, but by the Way, People May Say and Talk down so Many of the Games That Young Boys And Girls Club. I Don't Think See the Virtues. A Lot Of These Games and A Lot Of the Social Skills That Can Be Learned Playing Them in Particularly Dungeons & Dragons Because of Its Creative Space, but When We Come Back More of This Story. Adam John's Story Can Adam Davis's Story. Their Story Here on Our American Source. I Know Everything about Running a Coffee Shop for Small Business Insurance. I Need My State Farm Agent and Competent Business Owners to Help You Pass. State Farm Is in Your Corner and on like a Neighbor.

Try All Free Clear Maggot Packs All Three Clear Mega Packs Are Bigger Packs Two Times the Cleaning Ingredients Compared to a Regular Pack so That You Can Tackle Any Laundry Load without the Worry All Free Clear Maggot Packs Are Also 100% Free Perfumes and Dyes and Gentle on Skin, Which Is Great for Any Family Sensitive Skin Needs My Family.

Now Back to the Story of Adam Davis and Adam John's and How One of Their Childhood Treasures Turned into a Grad School Exercise and Ultimately a Full-Time Occupation Therapy Got Our First Group Going the Parents out the Outcomes.

Parents Are Talking to Other Parents Inviting Us to Speak in Other Engagements, and Then All Of A Sudden the Ball Started to Roll and Then before We Knew It, We Have Continued to Grow and We Are Now Full-Time Therapeutic Masters in Executive Director. We Have Asserted X Theory Begin to Grow, Where Players Play the Characters That They Need to Play, so We Have A Lot Of Players Who, like I Said, Are Socially Isolated.

Don't Have A Lot Of Social Aptitude and They Don't Really Have A Lot Of Experience Being Charismatic Are Confident, but They Pick Characters Who Are Aspirational. A Lot Of Players Come in and They They Picked Characters Were Military Leaders Who Have on Their Character Sheet That They Are Very Charismatic People Believe in Them and so We Know Right Away That That's Something That That That These Young People Want to Want to Play with and Want to Explore and We Have Players That Come in Choosing to Play Characters Are Very Similar to Themselves Lone Wolves Who Are Very Isolated in the Game and Then We Can Help That Character Grow and Thus the Player and That Lone Wolf Character Wants to Go off and Solve Every Problem by Themselves.

Now We Put Them in a Situation in the Game When Their Character Needs to Rely on Somebody Because Dungeons & Dragons Is a Fellowship.

It's a Game Where Every Character Has a Unique and Special Ability That That Makes Them Special and That's a Great Life Lesson Is That You Can't Do Everything by Yourself and People Rely on You and You Were Going to Rely on People, and Here's What That Looks like Ask for Help and Here's How Good It Feels to Be Able to Be the Person Who Can Step up and Help out in One Particular Instance Where Player Really Made a Choice That I Was Not Expecting the Characters Had All Made Their Way through the Start and They Came up into a Room Where There Was on in One Corner of the Room a Massive Wedge Present There in the Other Corner of the Room Was a Series of Three Unlabeled Switches and across the Other Side of the Room Was a Metal Door Was Closed Quickly Was Explained to the Players That One of the Three Unlabeled Switches Would Open the Door of the Other Side of the Room, Allowing Them to Progress Further into Their and the Other Two Switches Were Pulled Together Would Release the Massive Troll of Legend upon the Players but Also upon the World Itself and Usually How This Works Is That It Sort of a an Interesting Challenge with the Players Can Talk to the Troll They Can Figure out Is the Troll Lying to Us about Which Switches Which in and It Sort of a Mix of a Puzzle and a Social Challenge in This Case, We Had One Player Who Had Just Joined the Group and the Player Had Described Their Character As Being Impulsive and Having A Lot of Hyperactivity and It Was an Appropriate Character for That Players Play Because Player Also Struggled with Those Exact Same Challenges and That Players Said I Run across the Room and to Pull All Three Switches at Once Everyone That Scenario Several Times Is the First Time Anybody Had Ever Just Decided to Pull All Three Switch so All Of A Sudden I Had to Decide Okay Will What What's Going to Happen Here, and What Are the Consequences of Effectively Just Running Ahead and All the Other Players of the Table Got Now like Graph Paper and They Were Getting Ready to like Solve the Puzzle and They Just Stood and Stared Slack-Jawed at Their Teammate Who Might Have Just Done Them All in and What I Said Was the Troll Runs across the Room and He Picks up the Impulsive Players Character Getting Ready to Tumble and All the Other Characters I Said You're the Players That It Wasn't You.

You Can Leave Now. The Doors Open. But If You Leave, You Believe in Your Teammate to Be by This This Massive Troll Question and You Also Be Leaving the Troll to Recap upon the World You Need to Decide What Your Characters Would Do Their Heroes in This World, What Would They Do and They Turned and They Debated It with Each Other and They Eventually Decided That They Would Help Their Teammate and so They Entice the Troll Back into the Cage and Re-Imprison the Troll and at the End of That Session, We Always Do a Check Out Of the End of Every Session at the End of That Session, There the Players All Checked out with Each Other and the Impulsive Players Said I'm Really Glad That You Guys Help Me out There Because My Character Is Really Impulsive and It's Clear That They're Gonna Have To Learn How to Be Less Impulsive and I'm Hoping That Your Characters Will Help Teach Them and One of the Other Players at the Table Also Said in the Checkout. I'm Super Glad That You Did Because Were All Here to Basically Learn How to Navigate the Space How to Learn the Skills and Be Better This and Your Character Doing That Help Make You Feel like like I Really Long Time.

I've Struggled with Some of the Same Challenges and Help Me Feel Likable and It Was an Amazing Moment for Them to Realize That They're All in a Similar Place and They All Struggled to Make Friends to Connect with People and This Is a Place Where That Doesn't Matter Where They Can All Get along and Where They Can Maybe Have Missteps but They Can Feel a Sense of Acceptance Part of Our Mission Is to Get More Games into More Communities around the Country and around the We Have Traveled and We've Done Presentations and Trainings for Therapists Who Want to Get Involved so What We've Seen Is That A Lot Of Therapists Don't Have A Lot Of Experience with Role-Playing Games and Then the Big Barrier to Entry. Lately Hear the Stories They Get Excited, They Want to Participate in This Emerging Intervention Strategy, but They Were There under Experienced in Document Dungeons & Dragons so One of Our Missions Is to Create a Product That They Can Then Take and Help Them Get Started Much Faster. This Project Is Called Critical. It Is a Beginner Box for 30 Game Masters to Start Helping Their Participants Almost Right Out Of the Box. It Got Really Simple Fight Will Set It's Got a Facilitators Guide for How to Facilitate the Game to Be a Positive Prosocial Environment with All the Improv and All the Stuff That We Have Added on As Incorporating the Play Therapy and Drama Therapy That We Have into a Game, but Then Also It's Got a Very Specific Module Design Where the Storylines Are Directly Related to a Real-World Areas of Social so We Might Have Room That Fills up with Lava and That's a Way to Build Frustration Tolerance for the Players Have To Go and Get past the Guard and That Guard Might Have a Slightly Downturned Mouth Looks like a Frown and Then We Can Work on Theory of Mind Skills and Perspective Taking, Were Now We Can Talk about Nonverbal Social Cues and the Fact That That Guard Being Sad or Upset Has Nothing to Do with You. You Have No Idea Why He's Making That Facial Expression, but in Order to Get past the Guard into the Next Room in the Dungeon or in the Castle.

We Have To Be Able to Relate to Him Understand Him and Communicate with, so That Those Three Components Going into Critical Core I Think Will Really Be How We Can Get This Project out That We like Microsoft's Vision of a Computer on Every Desk We Want to Game in Every Desk Game in Every School Game and Every Hospital Game and Every Clinic in Therapists Office That Is Our Mission so We Don't Want People to Just Getting More We Want People to Gain Better. Don't Just Game Can't. And What an Interesting Story at First When I Was Reading about. I Thought, Why Should I Care As so Often Happens You're on the Show Start to Hear the Story to Go.

Also Heard Here in Our American Stories Is the History Guy with the Story of Toilet Paper for Much of History.

In Many Societies, What Things Are Commonly Available and Disposable Brass Leave Small Straw Snow While in Some Ways It Seems a Puerile Discussion Actually Tell Us Something about Culture.

For Example, Ancient Greeks Used Bits of Pottery to Scrape Themselves Clean and There Is Sometimes Used. Some Were Pieces of Pottery That Had a Name Inscribed on Them and It Was Part of a Voting Process on the Other Person Was so Bad That They Should Be Kicked Out Of a Community for Ostracize Them.

So If It Requires Using Office for Toilet Purposes. In Essence They Were Wiping Their Bottom with Their Enemies Name and Reusing Ostracize and That Purpose, Tells Us Something about the Ancient Greek Sense of Humor As Well As the Extent to Which They Carry the Garage. The Romans Used To Colleagues.

I Will Sponge You What Was Essentially a Sponge on a Stick, Wealthy Romans Might Have Their Own Personal Funds. Young, but for the Most Part They Were Communally Used Tree Accommodate 10 to 20 Patrons of Time Sponge Would Be Rinsed in a Mixture, Water, Salt and Vinegar Sponges Been Breeding Ground for Bacteria and Substrate Suggests Is Spread Infectious Disease and the Items Used for This Purpose Currently Dependent upon Wealth and Social Class with One Startling Example Being the Position of Groom of the Stool Would Serve the English Monarchs from At Least the 15th Century All the Way up to the 20th Century.

The Purpose of the Position Was to Have a Servant Who Was Responsible for Helping the King While He Was Doing His Business in the First Known Person to Have the Position Then Called Yeomen of the Stool Was One William Grimsby in 1455 Is Not Really Clear If the Person Was Directly Responsible for Wiping the King's Backside, but One of Their Responsibilities Was to Make Sure That There Was Blanket Cotton or Linen to Wipe Another End Position Was to Be One of the Less Savory. In Fact, It Became a Highly Priced Position the Group with the Stool Referring to the Kings Close Stool, Which Was Black Velvet and Fringed with Silk with Computer Basins in Four Broad Yards of Cloth Was One of A Few Attendants Who Shared True Private Time and Able to Speak Intimately with the Kid, Although Not a Member of the Privy Council Was Often More Privy to the King's Private Thoughts Than the King's Closest Advisers Interact with the Stool Would Often Have so Much Access to the King's Private Thoughts That Other Courtiers Were Afraid of Them the Secrets They Help over Time. Position Expanded to Include Control the Affairs of the Kings in Rooms Including the King Was Well-Dressed Position Include Perks like the King's Old Clothes and Furnishings. People Would Petition the Groom to Ever Get on Their Behalf so That He Could Use His Private Time with the King to Help Someone Getting up Priced the Position to Such Broad Responsibilities and Prestige That Was Often Held by Persons of High Nobility Position Continued to the Editor in Kings but Was in Abeyance of Victoria Only Limited by Her Son with the Seventh in 1901. Not Surprisingly, the First Culture to Use Paper for Their Bathroom Needs Was the Chinese Were Paper Was Invented, Perhaps As Early As the Eighth Century BC, in General, Most People Would Use Leftover Scraps of Paper but Paper Specifically for Use in the Toilet Was Being Mass Produced in China As Early As the 14th Century.

Although That Might've Been Largely Reserved to the Wealthy and Much of It Used by the Emperor's Court Paper Did Make It to Europe until the 11th Century Process Was Done by Hand Pressing Fibers on the Screen Mold Birds Invention of the Movable Type Printing Press around 1440 Cost a Printing Revolution in Europe Greatly Increased Demand for Paper and Papermaking Industry People Are Likely Using Paper Scraps in the Bathroom in Europe As Soon As People Reach the Continent and Practice Paper Was Expensive and Would Hardly Been Used for Such Purpose. There Were, However, Exceptions 16 Century Treatment John Bale More Than Books Dispersed from the Dissolution of the Monasteries by Henry VIII Were Being Purchased by Nobles to Rub Their Booties Still Paper Was Rare Enough in the 18th Century. That Was Not the Most Common Tool for the Job. In Colonial America.

Despite the Availability of Printed Materials Most Commonly Used for Bathroom Duty.

It Wasn't until the End of the 18th Century. First, Pat Was in France in 1799 That Papermaking Machines Using Continuous Rollers Were Invented Process Was Far Cheaper and Faster Printing and Paper Products Proliferated by the Early Part of the 19th Century People in Europe and America Were Most, Using Scrap Paper in the Bathroom Using a Bit of Newspaper Catalog Make Sense. The Paper Was Essentially Free and Offer Reading Material for That Private Time As Well. The Whole That Is Traditionally Drilled in the Corner of the Old Farmer's Almanac Was Reportedly to Allow the Book to Be Home by Hook in the House.

Joseph Did Get to Use Credited with Producing the First Commercially Marketed Toilet Paper in 1857 Deities Paper Was Called Therapeutic Paper Was Holding Single Sheets of the Cost of a Thousand Sheets per Dollar Is Paper Was Claimed to Have Medical Benefits to Specialist Treatment for Hemorrhoids at the Time Suggested That Ink Papers Were Toxic When Used on Sensitive Parts Probably to Get These Papers Were Each Watermarked JCP Getting New York Product Was One of the Few Salt of the Time Continued to Be Sold into the 20th Century Product and Limited Success Was Appreciated and Americans Were Embarrassed by Product Meant for Their Cards and Many Could Not Afford to or See the Value in Paying for Paper When so Much of It. For Example, the Sears and Roebuck Catalog Was Free Development Such As Patenting Processes to Sell Paper on a Roll.

Perforated Sheets Still Struggle Commercially Because in Victorian Times, the Use of the Paper Was Well Unmentionable but Another New Technology Was about to Change That in 1829 the Tremont House Hotel in Boston Became the First Hotel in America to Use Indoor Plumbing As Cities Develop Municipal Water Systems, Solar Technology for the Water Closet. Improve Early in the 19th Century American Manufacturers behind Those of Britain, and Most Equipment for Water Closets Was Important, but by the End of the Century Mark Manufacturers Were Producing Better Products and More and More Upscale Homes Featured Indoor Water Closets, New Yorkers, Clients, and Edward Scott Founded Scott Paper in 1879 in Philadelphia May Paper Know That They Sell Directly to Consumers.

Instead They Bought Paper in Bulk and Market Roles Are Provided Toilet Paper through Third Parties Such As Hotels and Drugstores That Avoided the Sensitivity of the Subject of the Paper Became Seen As a Special Amenity of Fancy Hotels at Peter in the Water Closets Is a Healthy and Hygienic Product so That Drugstores Marketing System Work and Eventually Practice the Paper for More Than 2000 Brands but Is More More Homes Are Being Equipped with Indoor Bathrooms, Newspapers and Catalog Seemed Less Appropriate and What the Pipes at the Same Time People Wanted to Buy Brands of NC That Upscale Hotel in 1902 the Scott Company Purchased the Trademark to the Most Popular Third-Party Seller, Waldorf Bathroom Tissue and Began Marketing It to Consumers Directly under the Scott Brandt for the First Time the Comings and Manufacturing Is on Paper and the Product Was Successful.

All the Stock Market Is a Health Product's Packaging Did Not Mention the Products Unmentionable Function Quickly Became the World's Largest Manufacturer of the Product Is in Your Plumbing Became More Common in the United States and Europe. The Products Only Became Indispensable, but There Were Elements about Marketing and Manufacturing. 28 the Brent Sharma and the Plan Worked Charming Begin Packaging the Product Using Feminine Looking Designs Appealing to Homemakers, Including an Image of Softness and Femininity Shift Once Again Help Remove Stigma from Marketing It As Late As 1935 the Quilted Northern Brand Advertising Their Paper Was Splinter Free, Which May Be More of a Marketing Strategy That a Different Paper Process but Emphasized That the Product Was about Comfort As Well As Hygiene Later Things like Multiparty Tissue Incentive Brand Broadened and Differentiated the Market. Further Still, It Took a Long Time for the Unmentionable to Become Unmentionable.

It Wasn't until the 1970s That Television Networks in the US Alone Advertising under the Name Toilet Paper Rather Than the Less Descriptive Name Bathroom Tissue Today. Toilet Paper Is Big Business. More Than 7 Billion Roles Are Sold in the United States Annually, Although for Some 70% of the World Toilet Paper so That the Primary Way That They Deal with Their Bathroom Business. It's Become Such a Part of Culture in America That Character in the Sherman Ad Campaign Called Mr. Whipple a Store Manager Extorted Customers to Please Don't Squeeze the Sherman Ran for Nearly 60 Years 1970 TV Guide Survey Found That Mr. Whipple Was the Third Most Recognized Man in America behind Former Pres. Richard Nixon and Evangelist Billy Graham. If That's True, It Means That in 1978. Mr. Whipple Was More Widely Recognized in America Then Then President Jimmy Carter. I Did Explain Why People Are Panic Buying Toilet Paper Today Only Current Events up to Other People That Were Rushing up by 12 Paper When Just 100 Years Ago Americans Could Figure out Why They Needed the Product When There Was so Much Free Paper Available, but One of the Most Common Solutions Is No Longer Available to Us.

According to the Sears Archive Due To Changes in Retailing Trends. Sears Stopped Producing Its General Catalog in 1993.
