Abstract
A substantially airtight container for an elongated web of perforated wet impregnated tissue-like material, the web being free-flowing and having a minimum of friction within the container, being manually pulled to be dispensed through a substantially closed but yielding slit in a wall of the container, the slit opening slightly to permit the exit of the web but tending to return to closed condition especially at its ends, to impart sufficient drag on the web to cause progressive severing of the web into separate sheets as the web is pulled through the slit, leaving a tip of the web still contained exposed to be grasped for the next dispensing step.
