Edwardian era -- paper sold by rolls?

Question

Was, in the edwardian period, paper sold in rolls? Or is stacks like now..... like...selling already cut up paper in packages.

Answer 1

rolls are a fairly new method of selling paper. up until the newspaper industry started using rolls in the late 1800's, paper was sold in sheets as machines had not yet been used to print more than a single page ata time. once the newspaper era started mass production in the larger cities, the machinery was designed which allowed the use of huge rolls of paper to feed through the machine during the printing process.
such printing is still done today, though the equipment is much faster and more compact.
