So would you like to tell us that story?

Still a very young woman, um, she worked in a variety of factories, not just weaving mills.

She was working for the Columbia Paper Bag Company, and she was, you know, just a, an assembly line worker making paper bags.

So at this time, there were two kind of paper bags: machine-made ones, which is what the Columbia Paper Bag Company was making, and they were quite weak.

They didn't have the flat bottom that we are accustomed to when you get a paper bag at the supermarket.

The flat-bottom kind were made in the UK, but they were individually handmade, not made by machine.

So in 1868, she invented a machine that cut, folded, and glued paper to form, first of all, a tube, and then it would fold the flaps at the bottom to make the flat-bottom brown paper bag we're used to.

But I wasn't aware until you mentioned it to me that her work also extended to the automotive field.
