- folding the sheet material of said main body member upon itself in a single box pleat to form an uninterrupted forward face and to position each of said edges generally adjacent to and rearwardly of a respective one of the lateral extremities of said forward face, said folding also placing, said tab members in overlying relation to one another;
- securing said folded sheet material of said main body upon itself adjacent said one end portion;
- and
- securing said overlying tab members to one another to form a tab assembly.
A towel comprised of flexible absorbent sheet material and including:
- a main body member having a pair of opposite end portions and a pair of opposite side edges extending generally transversely to said end portions, the sheet material of said main body member being folded upon itself in a single box pleat to form an uninterrupted forward face and to position each of said side edges generally adjacent to and rearwardly of a respective one of the lateral extremities of said forward face, said sheet material of said main body member further being secured upon itself in said folded configuration adjacent one of said end portions;
