St. Regis Paper Company was undergoing constant expansion at its Portland Avenue plant; in this August, 1951, photograph, new building forms are placed on brick stands. In recent years St. Regis had expanded their kraft paper operations and was to add a multiwall bag plant. They had installed a 6.5 million dollar paper mill and machine to increase their product offerings beyond pulp. The paper machine was the first entirely designed and engineered by the company; it was to eventually produce more than 80,000 tons of paper and paperboard a year.
