EMPLOYES GIVEN
 CHANCE AT STOCK

The American Paper Goods com pany of Kensington has completed a big deal that increases it's present ca pacity at least GO per cent. and re- moves one of it's nearest competitors. It has bought out the paper bag and envelope business of the Robert Gair corporation of Brooklyn, N. Y., one Of the largest corporations of it's kind in the country. The purchase price IS unknown, but the reputation of the Robert Gair corporation and it's big business makes it certain that the deal was one of large figures. The business of the American Paper Goods company has been at a top notch throughout the war; but the present coup was entirely unexpected. The concern has never gone out after for eign business as all it's output has been taken care of at home.

 The acquisition of the Brooklyn plant now gives the American Paper Goods three active plants; one in Chicago, one in Kensington and the new one in Brooklyn. Besides these factories there is a large warehouse
