expert to tell one from the other.
Before pulp paper makers became N
clever at producing imitation rag paper.
and before rag paper makers became
50 expert in producing absolutely clean
white sheets, there was one easv wsv
to distinguish one from the other, For.
merly one could always find little brown
spots scattered over the surface of pure
rag paper. These sports were caused
by the rusting of tiny particles of metal
which had been part Of the buttons
that had been sewn to the cloth. In
Vulnerable Of these little metal particjes
remained in the rags after they had been
washed and ground. and when they we're
mixed with water and then run through
the hot rollers, these particles turned
brown and showed up as rusty spots.
Finally, manufacturer devised q
scheme for catching the particles bv

the pulpy mass Of rags before Il went
into the rollers. The magnets cswsh;
the metal particles and an absoiutely
clean sheet was produced. 80
One pulp paper manufacturer who
wished to pass his product on "a ras

particles to his mass Of wood pulp And
when the paper came through the roller,
it contained the same kind Of brown
