the company’s surprise, half a million orders came in. Michael Scott, the owner of the company, couldn’t believe his
eyes. Women were walking (3) _____ the streets in paper dresses they had colored with crayons. Some even
invested in paper wedding dresses for $15. It all started when the Scott Paper Company that sold napkins and toilet

advertising trick sold 500,000 units in eight months. By the end of 1966, national sales of paper clothes in the US had
topped $3.5 million. In March of 1967, the Time magazine published a list (4) _____ paper clothes that included
