MAKING PAPER FROM PEAT.

To the Editor Of The Tribune
Sir: In your issue of November 3 is an article
under the heading, Paper Made from Peat which
states that 'it is a successful enterprise in Swe-
den" The facts differ from the statements made
in that article, and follows: An Austrian
invented a machine for making half stuff pulp
from peat. and he obtained patents this machine
in every country. In 1904 a company was formed
in this country under the name OF the Pilgrim
Paper Company, which company purchased the
American patent and started mill for the making
of paper Cardboard from peat at Capac. Mich.
The Pilgrim Paper Company spent large sums Of
money and more than year in experimenting TO
make the enterprise commercial success obtain
ing many additional patents. including process and
product patents. and for two years this mill has
been producing cardboard from peat successfully,
which is moisture proof. antseptc and odorless
The Swedish concern mentioned in the article of
November sent peat from its bog 10 the mill at
Capac demonstrate to English capitalists that it
suitable for the making OF paper. and upon the
results obtained the Swedish company was formed
The mill at Capac is to-day the only mill in the
world which makes paper from peat The writer
OF this letter has been the president OF the Pilgrim
Paper Company from it's inception. hence knows
whereof he speaks. The main object Of this letter
is to give credit to American energy IN developing
this industry. H. c. B.

cases driving off with their locomotives, leaving
