    The Kalamazoo Valley Paper Industry Elmer B. Hess, Valparaiso University An old slogan frequently heard in the Kalamazoo Valley is "every- thing including some newsprint." That expresses in a few words the variety of products produced by the leading industry in the Kalamazoo River Valley. The truth of the slogan is revealed in the variety of papers manufactured: rag bonds, both ledger and writing; sulphite bond—coated and uncoated book, sulphite bristol, postage stamp paper, and greeting card paper; tissue and wrapping paper, box board, ice cream carton board, and butter carton board; playing card stock, and some specialties. Rank of Michigan in the Paper Industry of the United States The manufacturing of paper and allied products in the United States is a huge industry. The value added by manufacturing in 1947 totaled $2,874,958. Employment was provided for 449,833 employees. Paper and allied products ranked tenth among the industries of the United States in 1947; it was outranked by such industries as food, tex- 1 tiles, machinery, and iron and steel. In 1947 Michigan ranked fourth in terms of value added by manu- facturing and sixth in employment. In that year 26,022 persons were employed in paper and allied products mills in Michigan against 65,026 persons for New York, 28,144 persons for Wisconsin, and 31,674 persons for Ohio. In 1947 value added by manufacturing in the paper and allied products industry in Michigan amounted to 174 million dollars while that of New York was 232 million dollars and that of Wisconsin was 188 million dollars.

  • A USPS Watermark Primer, Part 2 by Louis E
    Yesterday in U.S. Stamp News: A USPS Watermark Primer, Part 2 By Louis E. Repeta (From U.S. Stamp News, March-April 2000) Watermark Classification Watermarks have been incorporated in postage stamp paper both intentionally (ninety-five percent) and unin- tentionally (five percent). Official watermarks are designs that were intentionally produced in the paper, by order of the stamp-issuing authority. Unofficial watermarks are designs that were included in postage stamp paper without specific instructions from the stamp-issuing entity, but that were condoned, or officially ignored. One general classification scheme distinguishes among various types of watermarks according to their purpose. Four watermark groups can be defined: decorative, pa- permakers’, functional, and security. The security watermark was conceived as a means of using the watermark design to guard against postal forg- ery by making duplication more difficult, and to serve as a control on the paper stock. Technological advances, such as automated sheet counting equipment, coupled with phosphor tagging and electronic scanning equipment, rendered security wa- termarks obsolete and sounded the death knell for the dandy roll. Geometric perforating has been introduced as a further safeguard against postal forgery. Another watermark classification scheme employed is related to how the design is incorporated into the paper. The watermarks in U.S. postage stamp paper are produced by a slight thinning of the paper during its formation which renders the paper more translucent at the watermark design. This is called a negative watermark. A third classification scheme for watermarks on postage stamp paper defines them according to their arrangement in the sheet of paper.

    FRAMEWORK FOR AUTOMATIC IDENTIFICATION OF PAPER WATERMARKS WITH CHAIN CODES A DISSERTATION in Electrical and Computer Engineering and Telecommunications and Computer Networking Presented to the Faculty of the University of Missouri - Kansas City in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY by PLAMEN DOYNOV Dipl. Eng., Technical University of Sofia, Sofia, Bulgaria M.E.E., Catholic University of America, Washington, D.C., USA Kansas City, Missouri 2017 © 2017 PLAMEN DOYNOV ALL RIGHTS RESERVED FRAMEWORK FOR AUTOMATIC IDENTIFICATION OF PAPER WATERMARKS WITH CHAIN CODES Plamen Doynov, Candidate for the Doctor of Philosophy University of Missouri-Kansas City, 2017 ABSTRACT In this dissertation, I present a new framework for automated description, archiving, and identification of paper watermarks found in historical documents and manuscripts. The early manufacturers of paper have introduced the embedding of identifying marks and patterns as a sign of a distinct origin and perhaps as a signature of quality. Thousands of watermarks have been studied, classified, and archived. Most of the classification categories are based on image similarity and are searchable based on a set of defined contextual descriptors. The novel method presented here is for automatic classification, identification (matching) and retrieval of watermark images based on chain code descriptors (CC). The approach for generation of unique CC includes a novel image preprocessing method to provide a solution for rotation and scale invariant representation of watermarks. The unique codes are truly reversible, providing high ratio lossless compression, fast searching, and image matching. The development of a novel distance measure for CC comparison is also presented.
