That would be some old printer paper! Before ink jet and laser printers, there was the DOT MATRIX PRINTER. The holes on either side of the paper allowed it to be fed through the printer and so printing was possible. It was referred to as tractor feed paper.

The holes on the left and right margins of printer paper are called tractor feed holes and are used to help guide the paper through continuous feed printers. These printers use sprockets or tractors to ensure the paper is fed through accurately and consistently. Tractor feed holes are no longer necessary for most modern printers that use friction feed mechanisms.
