Comments:

The first real book paper was made by George A. Whiting in the Winnebago Mill.

Kimberly, Clark and Company contracted to build

a. three machine mill at Appleton to manufacture manila

wrapping paper from jute butts and ground wood pulp.

The respective properties were turned over to a newly

formed corporation, the Atlas Paper Company. In 1907

ibis company became part of Kimberly Clark.

The first of the three paper machines for Kimberly

Clark was shipped to Appleton, Wisconsin. Machine

required almost four freight cars.
