Who First Licked Stamps2

Dispute Is being Waged as to the
earliest postage stamp Ticker. Claim
is put forward for James Chalmers of
Arborath, Scotland, who submitted
specimens of adhesive postage stamps
to select committee of the house of
commons in 1884. Rowland Hill is also
credited with the invention, having eX-
perimented with glutinous washes in
1897. AS Rowland Hill directed the
British postal arrangements, he was
probably the first man to lick a genu-
inc post office stamp.
