The Richmond Paper Manutacturlns
Company was organized soon after the

as the Franklin Mill. which was built
MANY wears before the war. The Frank

very short period for the last twenty-five
years the company has had its offices at
their present location, on Main street.
The owners are determined to always
keep Richmond ahead OF all southern
cities in the production OF paper This

TO be established south of Philadelphia
They will always keep their mills abreast
Of the times, and supply every want that
could be demanded of a paper plant.
