The history of the paperclip

The fascinating Norwegian inventor was Johan Vaaler. He was a very smart man. I mean, what would the world do without him? If he wasn't born the world would still be making rubber bands to hold paper. Now don't even have me get started on who invented the rubber band. As I was saying, after John invented the paper clip, the news spread out fast. It spread out so fast that in 1901, he already received a American patent.
