ARTICLE
A Product That Found Its Own Use

The paper handkerchief was invented by accident. During the First World War one company made a soft paper to replace cotton in bandages. When the war ended, boxes of the material lay unused in a warehouse.

In the 1920s the firm sold it to women for removing face cream. Buyers, however, kept writing to say that they used the tissue for something else: they blew their noses into it and threw it away.

The company listened, changed its advertisements, and sales rose sharply. Today the paper handkerchief is sold in almost every country, and few users know it was first designed for a battlefield.
