Two signs from the Paper Museum


Two of the signs from the museum caught our eye...

The first one states that
Hunter (the collector of the artifacts and hand made paper researcher) "believed that a hand-crafted object was inherently more desirable, beautiful, serviceable and worthy of human endeavor than anything made by machine." Amen!!!

The second sign was in the room that housed the equipment from Dard Hunter's actual paper mill here in the USA (early 1900's)...

Rags make paper
Paper makes money
Money makes banks
Banks make loans
Loans make beggars
Beggars make rags
