Researchers claim that the first appearance of the notepad dates back to 1888. The creator of this printed helper for busy people was an American, T. W. Holley. He was working in a paper factory at the time. He made small notepads for his acquaintances. One day he received an order from a judge in New Jersey for notebooks, who also suggested adding a cardboard backing to the sheets to make it more convenient to write while holding the notebook in his hands or on his lap. Thus the notebook was born.
