 Today this country uses more paper per capita than any other nation, as the foregoing chart shows vividly. Accord ing to the latest figures, 150 pounds of paper per year Is consumed in the United States. Our nearest competitor Great Britain, uses about 100 pounds per person less. More than this, we manufacture more than half and use 56 per cent of the worlds paper supply.
