This mill was once the John Strange Paper Company, organized in 1891. It was originally John Strange Pail and Tub Company, organized in 1881. Pail and Tub started to make paper in 1888. Around 1969, John Strange Paper became a part of the Menasha Corporation and was again sold off in 1981 to U.S. Papers. U.S. Papers then became a part of Sonoco in 2001. My earliest recollections of the mill start about at the time of the switch to U.S. Papers. Since 1981, the mill has shrunk in size and rail traffic has diminished. Hopefully the mill will continue to provide jobs for many more years to come. |
