History of Paper Towels
Since you did not include much detail with your request, it is difficult to determine which aspects of the paper towel you are interested in knowing more about. I could not find a totally inclusive history on-line. The Robert C. Williams American Museum of Papermaking is probably the best place to seek further information. There are various other resources listed below where you may be able to find your answer. You may wish to ask your question directly to some of the paper towel manufacturers.
