Joseph C. Gayetty was an American inventor credited with the invention of commercial toilet paper. Gayetty first marketed toilet paper in 1857 which originally sold for US$0.50 in packs of 500 bearing a watermark of his name.
The original product contained aloe as a lubricant and was marketed as an anti-hemorrhoid medical product.
Gayetty's product was licensed to other manufacturers and sold as late as the 1920s.
