March 5th is recorded an ami
versary Of peculiar interest to news
paper publishers of this country, for
on this date fifty years ago, in 1867,
the first ground wood pulp was made
at a mill in what was then the vii
lage of Curtisvville. recently renamed
Interlaken, in the state of Massachu-
sets. Up to that time paper was
made exclusively of rags, naturally
limiting the amount produced; but
with the successful conversion of
wood into a fibre suitable for print
paper the vast timber resources OF
this continent became the limitless
reservoir OF raw material for any
and all future demand.
NEW MILLINERY DEPT OPEN
