Ronald H. Marks, vice presi dent and general manager of Enterprise, Inc., said the fabric is in its final stages of develop ment and there are many things yet he has to discover about it. He said as far as he knows no one ever knitted brown wrap ping paper before. He said his "fabric" retards flame, allows ventilation, cannot be seen through easily, is strong, holds its shape, and can be washed or dry cleaned. Marks has experimented with the paper fabric for four years. He first hit upon it in connection with smoked hams. His farm supplies sacks for meat packers and makes white coats for butchers. He noted that the cotton bags generally used to hold hams hung in smokehoues, did not let much smoke in. He found that a wide-knit paper sack was strong enough to hold the hams when they were hung and also let smoke penetrate the meat. This led to developing several versions of the weave, which he has patented, and he found the paper also could be used for clothes. It can be stitched on a regu lar sewing machine, is crease resistant, is loose enough to al low ventilation but it also opaque.
