There’s good reason why Charmin is the leading brand of toilet paper, quite simply, it’s because Charmin is plush, absorbent and luxurious bath tissue - it’s the best you can buy! Charmin Bathroom Tissue products were first manufactured in 1928 by Hoberg Paper Company in Green Bay, Wisconsin. An employee described the design as "charming", and the Charmin brand name was born. In 1932 Charmin was the first toilet tissue to be sold in a convenient 4 roll bundle package. In 1957 Charmin Paper Company became part of Proctor & Gamble. In 1964 the infamous Mr. Whipple entertained American television viewers by “squeezing the Charmin”. In 2006 Charmin unveiled the first-ever fully staffed, deluxe public restrooms in New York City's Times Square for the holiday season. Charmin toilet paper products are Ultra Luxury and Luxury Hotel grade and are available in packaging options for home, upscale hospitality and Class A office use.

1972: Cottonelle bathroom tissue, first introduced in 1972, is produced by Kimberly Clark and sold under the Kleenex brand. Cottonelle offers Ultra, 2ply and 1 ply toilet tissues in standard, jumbo sizes as well as the coreless type. All are considered the highest quality. It is made with 100% virgin wood fibers.
1987: Angel Soft bathroom tissue is produced by Georgia Pacific and was first introduced in 1987. This Ultra Luxury and Hotel Luxury grade toilet paper is available in Ultra or 2 ply as well as coreless rolls. Angel Soft offers the perfect balance in strength and softness at a price that won’t break the bank. 
1890: Toilet Paper on a roll was introduced by the Scott Paper Company and quickly becomes the nation’s leading producer of TP. Scott bought large rolls of paper from paper manufacturers and then converted them to become toilet paper on a small roll. The TP was sold through intermediaries, private labelers and drug stores. Scott private labeled the wrappers and cut the paper according to the specification that each reseller wanted. Scott did not want to be associated with this Victorian era “unmentionable” product. The owners did not want their name on the product. The strategy worked and Scott expanded – Scott soon had over 2,000 reselling customers. 1896: Arthur Scott joins Scott and argues that controlling their brand and product specifications is the best strategy rather than selling through resellers. 1902: The Waldorf brand was a big seller in Philadelphia by a paper jobber, Albert DeCernea. Arthur Scott, the son of Irvin, convinced his father Scott paper should control their own brands and product specifications. Scott therefore bought this private label and this began their first venture into controlling their own brand. By 1921 the Waldorf brand was 64% of Scott’s sales. 1910: Scott begins to manufacture its own toilet paper. In order to control the standards and quality of the tissue, Scott built its own first manufacturing plant in Chester, PA to make paper. They began making large 72″ parent rolls of tissue and cutting those to smaller rolls. The small rolls were either 650 or 1,000 perforated sheets. The roll of 1,000 sheets sold for $.10 and it was considered a medical item. 1995: Kimberly Clark and Scott Paper merged. Today, Scott is still considered by many the best brand. It offers an Ultra, 2ply and what we consider the best 1 ply on the market as well as a coreless type. [From the ToiletPaperWorld.com encyclopedia of Toilet Paper]

Quilted Northern bathroom tissue has been around for over 100 years! 1901: Northern Paper Mills from Green Bay Wisconsin is established and introduces Northern Tissue to be used as a sanitary tissue. It is 1,000 sheets of tissue, each 4×10 inches. Each bundle has a wire through it so it can be hung from a nail.The brand was launched by seven men from Green Bay and Milwaukee that pooled their life savings together. Since then Northern has worked tirelessly to offer one of the most comfortable toilet paper products available. Northern bath tissue was the first brand that was guaranteed to be “splinter free” and also Northern was the first brand to offer sterilized bathroom tissue. In 1992 Northern Tissue became Quilted Northern, a new product that combined superior softness and strength. Since 2004 Quilted Northern has partnered with Susan G. Komen for the Cure in the fight against breast cancer. Then in 2008 Quilted Northern once again was the first to offer a new level of comfort with the introduction of 3 ply Quilted Northern Ultra Plush toilet paper. Quilted Northern is Ultra Luxury grade bathroom tissue and is available in packaging options for home, upscale hospitality and Class A office use.[From the ToiletPaperWorld.com encyclopedia of Toilet Paper] Personally Speaking Whether you like a plush Ultra toilet paper or a sturdy 1 ply, getting the brands that you trust is what’s important. I do enjoy when I’m using a bathroom that is stocked with Charmin, Cottonelle, Angel Soft or Quilted Northern, but at home I like to use a lot of toilet paper so my personal favorite is Scott 1000. Maybe it’s because as a child I was always told to not use too much that now as an adult I use as much as I want, and maybe that’s just too much information.

Tami Supply Time Product Expert TAD Through Air Drying – Makes the best Toilet Paper The higher-quality toilet paper is made using through-air-drying, or TAD, machines, which use hot air to blow water out of the pulp used to make tissues. The result is softer fluffy toilet paper. The conventional manufacturing process squeezes the moisture out using hot cylinders, which takes some of the bulk, and resulting softness, out of it. "TAD has attributes that evidently some consumers now believe is indispensable," said Steve Chercover, a paper and forest-products analyst at D.A. Davidson & Co. P&G originally developed TAD machines in the 1960s, which became more widespread among the major branded players, including Kimberly-Clark, in the 1970s. As patents expired, and the technology became cheaper, more tissue manufacturers started to make TAD. P&G spokeswoman Laura Dressman said Charmin upgraded from the TAD manufacturing process that private-label is getting access to now around 15 years ago. Charmin "delivers consumers meaningful differences that the TAD being practiced by private label cannot duplicate," she said. Kimberly-Clark, too, says Cottonelle is made using a more advanced method, and it has the advantages that a branded player brings. "It takes the combination of leading technology, consumer insights and great marketing and brands to really win with consumers," said Kimberly-Clark spokesman Bob Brand.
