INDEX. 117 Photographs: Exce pt where noted, all illustrations are courtesy of St. Regis /Ra,p.er Company. vi J]jTRODUCTJOlf Those who we;reacquainted with,thelateRo¥, K., Ferguson remember him as a reserved and quiet individual who never courted public attention', In contrast to the flamboyant Floyd Leslie Carlisle',' his predecessor in the St. I Regis presidency, Ferguson addr~ssed audiences on a formal basis with relative infrequency, When he did choose tal, share his thoughts with a gathering of others, this intense~y private man seemed to enjoy describing the history of thei company whose progress he guided for nearly four decades.: I St. Regis history, as presented in Ferguson's articles and speeches, was divided into three segments! th~ newsprint era" a later period in which public utility holdings were of great significance to the company; and finally, art era extending to the present during which St. Regis abandoned its involvement in utilities and focused exclusiv~ly on pulp and paper production, ' The major emphasis in the first volunle of pral history interviews on the heritage of St, Regis, is upon tpese first two epochs in the company I s development, The lea,d-off inter­ view in that volume, conducted by John R, Ross, i;s with Eunice R, Wardwell. Mrs. Wardwell, a member of tpe famous Remington papermaking family, recalls the industry and its leaders in lfew York's lforth Country in the early years of this century, The second session in the volume, :conducted jointly by Elwood R,Maunder and John R, Ross, isl with Harold S, Sutton, who worked closely with both Carlisle ,and Ferguson. Mr. sutton helps trace Carlisle I s exploitation ofl the tre­ mendous water power resources of lfew York State t:o generate electric energy as well as to manufacture paper. ' The final interview of the first volume, conducted by Maunder and Ross, offers a sketch of Ferguson by Louise E. Richter ,I who worked as his executive secretary for many years. Ferguson is presented both as a young man working for Carlislle and also as the mature leader who reestablished the manuf~cture of paper as the top priority business of St. Regis. I ! I Ferguson took the reins of power at St. R~gis during the grimmest period in American economic history:! I Those were not happy days. We really had iproblems over which we used to huddle. However, one basic I decision came out of these huddles, namel~ that we would rebuild St\ Regis purely on pulp land paper, We would continue to- hold what was left- .-, of ,ourI public utility investments but they would 'be vii viii liquidated when opportunity arose and our J. future expansion would be in pulp and paper, I , This second volume of oral history intervi~ws focuses . , upon St, Regis's third historical perlod and uponithe man , who was its principal architect. I I Mr, Homer A. Vilas, former honorary chairmin of the board of the New York City investment firm Cyrus J. Lawrence, Incorporated, wap intimately acquainted!with Roy K. Ferguson for many ye~rs, An encounter in 1921 l between Vilas and Ferguson at F, L. Carlisle and Company in New York City generated an enduring relationship betw~en the two men. Mr. Vilas contributes substantial depth!to our understanding of the complex individual who led St. Regis to international prominence. He candidly and incisively recounts what he saw as Ferguson's business abilities and suggests that Ferguson, not Carlisle, developed Carlisle and Company into the successful contender it quickly became in the business arena of the twenties. Mr. Vilas!also elaborates upon certain facets of Ferguson's private life which have received less attention -- particularly his adoption of the Christian Scientist faith and an accompany- ing change in life style. ' The Vilas interview is the personal recordiof a de~ voted friend and it prepares the way for the follbwing two­ session interview with James E. Kussmann. Mr. KU$smann's recollections detail the activities of Ferguson and his dedicated business associates in rebuilding and expanding St. Regis during the Great Depression, World War ~I, and the postwar era. ! , ! Mr. Kussmann, at this writing vice-preside~t of public affairs for St. Regis, has held managementi positions at St. Regis operations located in Trenton, New J~rsey; Kalamazoo, Michigan ;: Tacoma, Washington; and Deferiet, New York,prior to moving to New York City in 19631 to manage the newly created public affairs office. Mr. Kus~mann's background in plastic, kraft, and printing paper operations allows him to discuss in considerable detail th~ postwar strategy by which St. Regis was built into one ofl the largest paper companies in the Dnited States. In! this period a program of extensive growth through both! acquisi­ tionand construction was pursued,. and. the product line.. was diversified j:)roadly; c' St. Regis ~:overcame: its ~rior: c' . dependence upon imported pulp and was integrated !from pulpwood to converted products. I ! J. Roy K. Ferguson, Address at St, Regis Baper Company Orientation Meeting, 4 April 1955, p.11, 1 I ix I Not only does Mr. Kussmann describe Fergusln's plans and policies in growth, diversification, and integration but he also depicts important personalities in the St. Regis story such as C. B, Martin, E. R, Gay, and George:, J, Kneeland, The interview, in addition, offers glimpses of men like Folke Becker, Hilding Lindberg, Everett G.

    PEER-REVIEWED REVIEW ARTICLE bioresources.com Understanding the Effect of Machine Technology and Cellulosic Fibers on Tissue Properties – A Review Tiago de Assis,a Lee W. Reisinger,b Lokendra Pal,a Joel Pawlak,a Hasan Jameel,a and Ronalds W. Gonzalez a,* Hygiene tissue paper properties are a function of fiber type, chemical additives, and machine technology. This review presents a comprehensive and systematic discussion about the effects of the type of fiber and machine technology on tissue properties. Advanced technologies, such as through-air drying, produce tissue with high bulk, softness, and absorbency. Conventional technologies, where wet pressing is used to partially dewater the paper web, produces tissue with higher density, lower absorbency, and softness. Different fiber types coming from various pulping and recycling processes are used for tissue manufacturing. Softwoods are mainly used as a source of reinforcement, while hardwoods provide softness and a velvet type surface feel. Non- wood biomass may have properties similar to hardwoods and/or softwoods, depending on the species. Mechanical pulps having stiffer fibers result in bulkier papers. Chemical pulps have flexible fibers resulting in better bonding ability and softness. Virgin fibers are more flexible and produce stronger and softer tissue. Recycled fibers are stiffer with lower bonding ability, yielding products that are weaker and less soft. Mild mechanical refining is used to improve limitations found in recycled fibers and to develop properties in virgin fibers.

  • Making Paper from Trees
    Making Paper from Trees Forest Service U.S. Department of Agriculture FS-2 MAKING PAPER FROM TREES Paper has been a key factor in the progress of civilization, especially during the past 100 years. Paper is indispensable in our daily life for many purposes. It conveys a fantastic variety and volume of messages and information of all kinds via its use in printing and writing-personal and business letters, newspapers, pamphlets, posters, magazines, mail order catalogs, telephone directories, comic books, school books, novels, etc. It is difficult to imagine the modern world without paper. Paper is used to wrap packages. It is also used to make containers for shipping goods ranging from food and drugs to clothing and machinery. We use it as wrappers or containers for milk, ice cream, bread, butter, meat, fruits, cereals, vegetables, potato chips, and candy; to carry our food and department store purchases home in; for paper towels, cellophane, paper handkerchiefs and sanitary tissues; for our notebooks, coloring books, blotting paper, memo pads, holiday greeting and other “special occasion’’ cards, playing cards, library index cards; for the toy hats, crepe paper decorations, paper napkins, paper cups, plates, spoons, and forks for our parties. Paper is used in building our homes and schools-in the form of roofing paper, and as paperboard- heavy, compressed product made from wood pulp-which is used for walls and partitions, and in such products as furniture. Paper is also used in linerboard, “cardboard,” and similar containers. Wood pulp is the principal fibrous raw material from which paper is made, and over half of the wood cut in this country winds up in some form of paper products.

CHANGES IN PRINT PAPER DURING THE 19TH CENTURY AJ Valente, ([email protected]), President, Paper Antiquities When the first paper mill in America, the Rittenhouse Mill, was built, Western European nations and city-states had been making paper from linen rags for nearly five hundred years. In a poem written about the Rittenhouse Mill in 1696 by John Holme it is said, “Kind friend, when they old shift is rent, Let it to the paper mill be sent.” Today we look back and can’t remember a time when paper wasn’t made from wood-pulp. Seems that somewhere along the way everything changed, and in that respect the 19th Century holds a unique place in history. The basic kinds of paper made during the 1800s were rag, straw, manila, and wood pulp.

  • Paper Towel Strength and Absorbency
    Paper Towel Strength and Absorbency Summary Think about the last time you spilled a drink. How did you clean it up? Most likely you grabbed the nearest roll of paper towels. Why didn’t you use a roll of toilet paper or why didn’t you grab a wad of notebook or computer paper? What is it about a paper towel that makes it so useful to clean up spilled liquids? It has to do with how the paper towels are made. Paper towels are made from the same types of plant fibers that other types of paper are made from. The difference between paper towels and other types of paper comes when the paper fibers are mixed with a special type of resin to make them strong when they are wet. That’s why paper towels don’t tear as easily as notebook paper or tissue paper when they are wet. Once the sheets are made they have shapes pressed into them to make them look quilted. These shapes form air pockets to attract water. That is why paper towels are so absorbent. Different brands of paper towels have different methods for manufacturing their paper towels. In this activity you will get to test different brands of paper towels for their strength and absorbency. In this activity we will: 1. Observe what qualities about paper towels give them the best strength and ability to absorb water. 2. Test four different brands of paper towels to see which is the strongest and most absorbent. Materials - four or more different brands of paper towels - a jar of pennies - bowl of water - teaspoon - eye dropper or turkey baster - two assistants - record sheet and pencil (see below) Preparation 1.
