Kleenex

When I was growing up I always had a nose that ran and it was embarrassing to take toilet paper with you, My uncles Percy and Fred were druggists as their father was in Topeka, Kansas. One lovely day my Uncle Percy turned up with a box. He told me "I have found something for your runny nose." I met Kleenex for the first time. It was actually invented in 1924 and movie stars used it to take their make-up off. I've loved it ever since. In 1928 they invented the pop-up boxes. They surveyed their buyers and found more of them used it for disposable handkerchiefs then makeup so they have aimed at that audience ever since. I stopped having a red nose all winter as Kleenex is softer. When I went to China in 1979 with all the travel agents, you could not get Kleenex there and the travel agents that were with us always had the pink toilet paper that seemed to be in our hotel rooms. It made me realize how much I missed Kleenex. I am still very fond of it.
