In August of 1947 an unidentified "boom man", wearing "corked" boots and wielding a pikepole, was photographed sorting logs for the St. Regis Paper Company. St. Regis was established in Tacoma in 1928 and rebuilt and modernized in 1936. In August 1947 the company announced plans for a $6 million addition of a Kraft paper mill and a multi-wall bag plant. Simpson Tacoma Kraft took over the St. Regis mill in Tacoma in 1985. (On spec. for the Times, Labor Day.) TPL-9492
