Scope and content
ca. 1959. The St. Regis Paper Co. kraft pulp and paper mill and multiwall bag plant at Tacoma, Washington. The plant was a major producing unit serving the western states. Late in 1959, construction was started to expand the pulp mill and install a second machine which would produce kraft paper and board, more than doubling the output of the mill. The new kraft paper and paper board machine was 130 feet wide and 630 feet long. It would require 150 additional employees at a payroll of 3/4 million dollars. Additions were being made to the steam and recovery plants, pulp mill (left) and to the paper mill (right.) (St. Regis Paper Co. Annual Report- 1959; TNT 11/5/1959, pg. 1)
