Reply to comment by AnthillOmbudsman in TIL Margaret Knight (1838-1914) invented a machine to mass produce flat-bottomed paper bags and, after winning a lawsuit against a fraudster who copied her design, the patent was issued in 1871. Her first invention was when she was 12 years old (and began working in a factory). She had 87 patents. by WonderWmn212

My design was very revolutionary~

Then some jerk named Charles Annan

A real pathetic charlatan

Tried to steal it, but couldn't beat her testimony~

Aww, won't you take me home tonight

Aww, set me down, i stand upright

Aww, i swear nothing will ever fall out

Flat bottomed bags you make the grocery world go round~
