Toilet paper was made available 63 years after it was first invented!

de bene esse: literally, of well-being, morally acceptable but subject to future validation or exception

The toilet paper is taken for granted these days but it is a precious commodity.

It was invented by a paper maker Joseph Gayetty in 1857 but was made widely available in the 1920’s due to patent complications.

Original advertisements for the product used the tagline, “The greatest necessity of the age” as if the human race had not been functioning without toilet paper for all millennia.

It was followed with “Gayetty’s medicated paper for the water-closet.”
