SSPP TRIVIA

 

When our school was founded in 1853....

....when there were spills at home or in school, people grabbed rags to clean up the mess.    Paper towels  are commonly used today but their history  dates to 1879 when Clarence and Irvin Scott, two brothers from Philadelphia, founded their paper company. 

They began to manufacture tissue papers  with 1000 sheets on a roll, which they sold for ten cents each.
