Logs from the St. Paul & Tacoma Lumber Company could be easily transported via railroad to the St. Regis Paper Company for pulp and paper operations. Both companies were rapidly expanding due to high demand for their products. View of construction materials placed near the St. Regis water tower and railroad tracks; for several years in the late 40's and early 50's, St. Regis underwent massive expansion with the construction of a multi-wall bag plant and kraft paper facilities. St. Regis operated 24 hours a day, seven days a week and total expenditures in 1951 would total nearly ten million dollars.
