Scott brothers came along and started making and marketing toilet paper.

But no one would buy it. Everyone was too embarrassed to be seen buying toilet paper and thus admitting they poop. It just sat on the shelves.

Hotels started to carry the Scotts toilet paper and it became a big hit. People would go to hotels to use the bathrooms and the toilet paper.

Eventually we went from out houses to indoor plumbing and you couldnt flush corn cobs and books down the pipes.

Charmin came along early 1900s and started marketing soft toilet paper.

Scotts and Charmin toilet paper.
