People In town do not know much
about the lowly paper collar, but those
who lived half century ago did. They
were Q poor mans frisnd, yes, and Q
poor woman's friend a. well. There
were not many lsundries In existence In
Oxford County In those days, and the
lady Of the house was forced (mostly) to
do mp her husbands collars. IL was hot,
fussy work, 80 any allsyiation was con-
sidsrsd . godsend TO her. No doubt our
mothers, II alive, would DO ready to rise
up and call the inventor blessed. That
inventor was Q Maine man, By name,
Solomon s. Gray. He was born and
lived during the earlier part Of his life
In Bowdoiuham, removing later in life TO
Boston. he began the manufacture Of
paper collars In 1851, also the invention
OF machines for making them 10 the
same year. By 1883 he had perfected
bis machinery and had placed the paper
collar upon the market and upon the
neck Of most mea. For decade or two
they were very popular. They had .
large sale and brought Mr.. Gray . con-
siderable fortune.
