Construction of the new building for the Combustion Engineering Company furnace at St. Regis Paper Company. Six stories high, it was built in conjunction with a copper electric precipitator, had a capacity of 225 tons, and was to be completed by the middle of April. This was part of the continuing eight-year expansion program started by St. Regis in 1945. When St. Regis took over the Union Paper Company in 1936, the mill was producing 150 tons a day. In 1952 St. Regis produced 400 tons of brown sulphate pulp per day. (TNT, 2/17/1952, p.C-14)
