Scope and content
Closer view by air of the Fibreboard Corporation located in Sumner with a portion of the White River visible in left corner. This large plant manufactured boxes. It had been in business as Fibreboard Products Co. since at least 1928 when the plant underwent expansion. P.G. Vanderpool was the current manager. The Sumner complex was part of the Fibreboard Corporation's carton group. The national company announced on November 18, 1976, that it planned to sell the unit at Sumner and all other plants in this category due to the carton group's low-profit margin. The Sumner plant and others would be continued as on-going businesses until sold. Color photograph ordered by Fibreboard Corporation. (TNT 11-18-76, C-11-article)
