Abstract
Introduction
The information presented in this literature survey was obtained through Western Michigan College Library, Kalamazoo Public Library, St. Regis Central Laboratory, and Kalamazoo Vegetable Parchment Research Library.

Considering retention, from a general point of view, we find in Webster's New International Dictionary that it is, "A retaining or holding fixed in some place or position; state of being kept in place." Sutermeister (20) gives the paper makers definition as being the percentage of filler added to the furnish which appears in the finished paper.
