the article, but furnish the material
for its manufacture. A slight notion
of the immense consumption of pa
paper may be learned from the single
fact that one house in this city alone
produces not less than twelve hum
dred and sixty tons per year, or five
tons per day.
1t would be almost impossible to
enumerate the almost countless pur-
poses and uses to which paper is APP
piled. The soberest statements con-
nected with even such a dry subject,
when. viewed with philosophic eye,
presents the most peculiar charm of
romance. Imagine for moment the
population of a whole city clothed in
paper, and yet to such useful purposes
Is the clothing of the whole commu-
nifty at last converted. The beggar's
rags and the rich mans costly gar
ments meet at last in the paper ware
house rag-room.
In the rag department alone in the
establishment we are now writing of,
sixty-three thousand tons of rags are
handled per year.
