I remember the television program "Connections" from my youth saying that after the Black Plague paper production soared because of the huge quantities of linen available from dead people. I don't know if that's really true. Gail Finke
Actually it was the survivors spending their inheritace and when they (the linen) wore out it was perfect for the printing industry thus the bone man became the rag and bone man or something to that effect.
