IT PAYS TO
Read the Ads

III ME was, and within the memo.
ries of many of US, when but a
few people read advertisements
and those with misgivings.
Advertising had not yet found its
proper place in the economy of life
Much of it was neither informing

AS with other phases of life time
brought changes. Little by little
the tone of advertising i mp oved

Shaftings have been boxed and signs
have been placed in all parts of the
plant, urging employees to be careful.
The best safety device known is
careful man." says one. and another
says stop! Think"
The company is taking every pos
sible precaution against fire loss and
two great water pumps are constantly
in readiness. Fire plugs are located
at various points and hundreds of
feet of fire hose are always ready for
emergency.
But the paper plant is not the only
place where employment can be got
ten in York Haven. The town can
boast of two hosiery mills and both of
these are seeking more help. The
largest mill is that of the Unrivaled
Hosiery Company. This company has
branches in Williamstown and Tower
City. The local plant employs 40 peo-
pie, but there are thirty machines
standing idle because additional help
cannot be secured. at present 116 ma
chimes are in operation. The plants
output at present is ,450 dozen pairs
of mems half hose weekly. This will
be increased to 1000 dozens when the
new machines are in operation.
The other mill is known as the Penn
Hosiery Mill and eight persons are
employed there. The plant has been
in operation for three years and has
good sized output weekly. There
are about 40 machines in the build
ing.
Harrisburg telegraph. [volume] (Harrisburg, Pa.) 1879-1948, 1916-03-28

ter they are carried to the paper
making machines in troughs. So
much water is used in paper making
that when the fibers are carried
through the troughs to the paper MAX
ing machines they cannot be seen in
the water. The troughs lead to
great screen made of fine wire and
constructed after the style of an end
less chain. The water and fibers drop
onto the screen, the water dropping
through and the fibers covering the
surface. The screen, moving in a for
ward direction carries the wet sheet"
to an endless felt chain and on this it
passes over and under at least two
dozen huge rollers. each filled with
steam. BY the time the fibers reach
the end of the machine they are dry
and the paper is formed. The same
machine rolls up the paper and then
these rolls are taken to other machines
to be cut into ordered and standard
rolls such as are found in all places
where wrapping paper is used. OF
course, some is cut into sheets for de-
livery
In addition to the sulphite process
of making paper, the company also
uses what is called mechanical pro-
cess. This is done by grinding the
wood chips instead of "digesting"
them. The paper is not as fine as the
paper made by the sulphite process
The York Haven company. too, is
making every effort to protect it's
workmen and in all parts of the plant
guard rails have been placed VIII erever
there appeared to be the least op-
portunity of man getting injured
Harrisburg telegraph. [volume] (Harrisburg, Pa.) 1879-1948, 1916-03-28

rope, of course, has caused foreign
manufacturers to stop sending wrap
ping paper TO the United States AMI
because of this, mills equipped to
manufacture their own paper sui
phite are swamped with orders.
The York Haven plant, at the pres
ent time, is one of the speediest mills
in the country and in ten hours.
hemlock or spruce log taken from one
of the great piles can be in freight
car and on it's way to some dealer in
the form of wrapping paper.
The wood used in the paper manu-
facture here is secured in Canada,
Pennsylvania and West Virginia and
when it is brought to York Haven it is
thrown up in great piles which strik-
ingly resemble the smaller of the culm
banks in the coal region. From these
piles York Haven paper is manufac-
tured at the rate of about seventy tons
per day of "a hours.
Day and Night Work
Day and night forces are at work
and in turning out the product 250
men are employed. There are also q
dozen girls employed at the plant and
they operate machines which cut rolls
of paper into sheets of various sizes
The local plant was established in
about 1885 and in the beginning book
paper was manufactured. Later news
paper was produced and rolls were
supplied TO the Philadelphia Public
Ledger, the New York World and
Herald. The process was again chang
ed so that wall paper could be made
and from that grew the wrapping pa
per industry. This latter has been
made for about eighteen years. MIR.
Emigh has been at York Haven since

is IN these "digesters" that the pulp is
made. Six thousand gallons of liquor"
and chips from about five and one
half cords of wood are put into each
"dlgester' and then steam is turned
In FOR about six or seven hours. The
steam and the liquor "digests" the
wood chips and when the mass is
blown into an adjoining bin it greatly
resembles the paper "spitball" that
Johnny" throws in school.
In the bins great streams of wa
ter are turned on the pulp and then
it is carried in troughs to machines
where it is deposited on wide strips
of felt which form an endless chain
The water oozes through the felt and
leaves 1t covered with the wood pulp
This is run between heavy rollers and
the excess water is squeezed out, leav-
ing sheet of pulp as the result. BY
this process, the pulp can be stored
away conveniently or carried easily to
the next department or what is prop
erlY known as the beating room In
this department there are large tanks
and the pulp sheets are dropped in
there. Water is turned into the tanks
also, together with paper hardener
Beaters keep the water moving all the
time and the tiny fibers are separated
from each other. 1t is at this period
of paper making, too. that the dye is
used and the various colors seen in
papers produced.
The Final Process
After the fibers have been fully Sc
parated and we'll mixed with the wa

1901 and when he first took charge
only about thirty tons of paper were
finished daily Now the capacity is
more than doubled because of the
addltlon of larger and more modern
machinery.
There are very few industries in the
country which require so much heavy
machinery as a paper mill. In almost
every nook and corner of the local
plant piece of heavy apparatus is to
be found. OF course mammoth boil
efs ana engines are used and a half
dozen high powered turbine water
wheels also help to drive the machin-
cry These engines and turbines total
several thousand horsepower.
A tip through the paper mill is
quite interesting and no better guide
could be furnished to visitor than
CHARLES ii. kephart, the assistant su-
perintendent. In showing a stranger
the various points of interest about
the plant, naturally the huge timber
piles are the first places visited and
then the trip is resumed to the de-
partment where sulphur gas is pro-
duced. The gas obtained from burn
ing sulphur. is driven through water
cooled mains to great tanks filled with
limestone. Water runs into the top
of the tank and the gas is blown in
from below. The chemical action of
stone produces a liquid called liquor
which is used in producing wood pulp.
How Blocks Arc Chopped
The spruce and hemlock blocks are
put into chipping machines and chip
ped into small pieces. From the ma
chimes the chips are carried to great
bins above a set of six "digestors" 1t
