A visit to the pulp mill will convince
any one of the vast amount Of labor
required to erect the large stone
structure and place the machinery
which has already been placed in pro-
per position in the building. 1t has
been the constant aim Of those in
charge, to have the work done, SO far
as possible, by home men, and large
force has been employed; and as the
money earned has been spent at home
nearly all lines of business in our city
have been greatly benefited thereby
When the mill is completed and in
operation much larger force of men
will be necessary.
