                      Claim 1 is illustrative:                                                             
                      1.  A product comprising:                                                            
                      a first substrate wound into a roll, the roll having a cylindrical interior          
               space and a rotation axis;                                                                  
                      a second substrate located within at least a portion of the roll’s                   
               cylindrical interior space;                                                                 
                      the roll’s rotation axis orientated substantially vertical; and                      
                      wherein the first substrate is dispensed from the roll’s periphery and               
               the second substrate is dispensed from the cylindrical interior space.                      

                      The Examiner relies on the following evidence to show
