A COUNTER-TOP PAPER TOWEL HOLDER(10) A BASE(18), MOUNTING ROD(20) EXTENDING UPWARD FROM THE BASE(18), AND A STABILIZING EXTENSION EXTENDING UPWARD FROM THE BASE AT A POSITION RADIALLY SPACED FROM THE MOUNTING ROD(20). THE STABILIZING EXTENSION INCLUDES A HANDLE PORTION AND A PRESSER ARM SPACED RADIALLY OUTWARD FROM THE HANDLE(28) PORTION. THE PRESSER ARM IS RESILIENT, AND INCLUDES A FREE END FOR ABUTTING THE ROLL OF PAPER TOWELS MOUNTED ON THE MOUNTING ROD(20). GRASPING THE HANDLE WITH ONE HAND PROVIDES SUPPORT FOR THE PAPER TOWEL HOLDER AGAINST GROSS MOVEMENT AS THE FREE TOWELS ARE PULLED FROM THE ROLL USING THE OTHER HAND. THE THUMB OF THE GRASPING HAND MAY PRESS AGAINST THE PRESSER ARM TO FORCE THE FREE END AGAINST THE ROLL. THE FREE END(36) THUS PREVENT FURTHER ROTATION OF THE ROLL(12), AND ASSISTS IN BREAKING THE LINES OF PERFORATION(14) TO DISPENSE THE TOWELS.(16)
