Description:
"In the manufacture of wrapping-paper it is usual to cut the same into sheets, count them out into quires or half-quires, fold them, and tie them up into bundles, such as half-reams or reams. This operation involves considerable manual labor and expense, the counting is frequently incorrect, the outside sheets of the bundle are injured in transportation, the expense of string has to be added to the selling price, and in this manner the cost of the wrapping-paper is largely increased to the consumer; and this, in connection with paper that usually has to be given away in wrapping up the article purchased, is a great source of loss to retail dealers especially. Another source of loss arises from the fact that almost all qualities of wrapping-paper are injured by age, which is in consequence of becoming very dry and brittle by exposure to the atmosphere, and, lying around loosely previously to being used, the sheets of wrapping-paper frequently fall upon the floor or are scattered by a current of air.

"My invention is made for the purpose of avoiding or removing all the aforesaid difficulties or disadvantages; and consists in a roll of wrapping-paper with perforations on the line of the division between one sheet and the next, so as to be easily torn apart, such roll of wrapping-paper forming a new article of manufacture."
