#paperbagday
Every day, millions of people use paper bags. Paper bags have been around for many years, and they have been made from 100% recyclable paper bags. Francis Wolle, an American entrepreneur, received a patent for the first paper bag machine in 1852. William Goodale, another paper bag manufacturer, received his patent on July 12th, 1859. He was born in 1859. His paper was supposed to be cut so that it was folded, and it was ready for folding. After Margaret E. Knight designed the square, flat-bottomed bag, and the machine that would fold and paste them in 1870, she became known as "the mother of the grocery bag." Over the years, other designers have been recognized and patents for their inventions of devices that extend the paper bag or its manufacturing.
