Their basic purpose is t store paper containing valuable data. The two most common types of filing cabinets are the vertical ones and the lateral ones of which the vertical is mostly put into use for official purposes. In the lateral type the files are stored in sideways fashion and they are a common sight in most of the government and legal offices. They are also known by the name of side fillers in Britain. The credit for the creation of the modern day filing cabinet goes to Edwin G. Seibel’s. It is said that he had the brilliant idea while working in his father’s office that the then current system of storing papers by folding them into envelopes and placing them into pigeonholes could surely be improved if the folding was dispensed with. This marked the beginning of a new era of storing papers in large envelopes vertically, in drawers.
