Aloha Paper Clip Friday
Fastening papers together was first done in the thirteenth century. Short pieces of ribbon were put through parallel cuts that were made in the upper left-hand corners of paper. In 1835, John Ireland Howe, a New York physician, invented the machine for the mass production of straight pins. These pins were designed to be used with cloth, but people also used them to fasten paper together. At the end of the nineteenth century, steel was new and the machines used to make large quantities of paper clips were invented.
