Between 1914 and the late 1960s, the Champion Paper and Fibre Company published an internal newsletter, called The Log, to share news about the Canton mill, the community, and its employees. After 1940, news from the entire “Champion Family,” which included mills in Hamilton, Ohio, Houston, Texas and Sandersville, Georgia, was featured in each issue.

From Small Beginnings . . ~ • An old truth ha been expressed in the ~aying, ,.Great" oak.~· from l ittle acorn grotv_" Our largest enterpds.es have had mall beginning ·. T he mental acorn fron:t which the great oak of the Champi-on enterpri e. grew, was an idea, a plan in tbe mind of Peter G. Thomson. One of lbe charms of our contacts with folks in this bus worll of qurs is the fact that n.o two persons are a like. S n1e are tirred by a g1·eat eagerness to do thin~)" , to explore new field ' , to blaze new trails. Others are of a more placid t ·pe, quite content to follow ra.thcr tban to lead -"-worthy people who have no Jesire to depart from the bea ten path. Both types are needed, both cype.

His first job was in a retail book store in Cincinnati. The job was deri al and routine in ha.racter and not to his liking except a:s a means of providing 1oocl and clothing. Being ambitious for better thii1gs, he studied . business methods as he saw them in practi ce in the book store. His income was meagre; but by careful thrift:, by giving up luxuries and costly amusements, he ,.vas able not only to support his family, but also to save sorne 111011ey . '!\lith these savings, he took · the plunge and set up his own book store. He Began with a Book Store . ' Deali0:g in books led his eager spirit into the produc-tion of the kind of books he knew from h is store experi­CJ1ce, would be in cJ.emand and would canl' a profit margin. Again using hi savirigs, he moved from a very modest book-seili.Ftg store into a much more ubstantial book-printing establishment. ·Most of the books which he produced were designed for children, and much of the text was prepared by his devoted wife who found time to help her husband in ' his business while she at the same time managed a large household with · five, active, growing children. J t is easy to see that for Peter G. Tho·mson and hi. ,..,rife, life, in those days, was not exactly a bed of roses. M.r. Tbomson's policy in the managernent o.f his book-publishinGT p 'lant ·was, as woull be expected, vigor­oas and aggressive - and it wa · not long un.til hi 1n·incipal co.m t et.itor in that fi ld began to feel the impact . of hi dri ' c for broader niarket .

The timbers w·ere hauled to Canton by six-mule team o er roads that were, for the most of the time, hub-deep jn mud. For the protection of its future, Champion had acquired pra.ctic-ally all of the Stan_d of spruce in- the n arby mountains, and later built many miles of logging road - into the :--pruce belt to bring out the pulp wood. Then came the succe ·ful campaign for the establish­ment o( the Great ,_ moky Mountain National Park. Champion (J£ nece sity, bowed to the great popular demand for the presenation of the unique natural · eauty o( the mokie for the enjoyment of Am.erican people, and for ail time.

After years, it i still tops in the white paper field. Following the tradition created by ~r. Thomson, Champion thus made a virtue of necessity and arose stronger and lu tier than ever {rom the hard blows that fate has dealt it. The other move decided on to compensate for the loss of the spruce holdings ,.vas to put more drive behind the resE:arch effort to use bleached southern pine as ,the soulce of long :fibre for our white papers. Ch~mpion undertook to blaze- a trail into. new and unex plored fields of pulp making technique. Success did not come · at once, nor was it free from headache. and di appoint­ments, but as you all know, success did finally crown ou:r efforts. Champion has attained a pos;ition of leader­ship in the use o£ bleached pine pulp that cannot be assai~ed . The use of pine in this vvay wa , no doubt, economically inevitable, but I am sure that our progress was greatly accelerated by the way the Champion organ­ization r eacted to the challenge created by the los of our spruce holding . A los, that at the time, seemed almost beyond repair. Champion ·" as blazjn.g trails for the future and orienting them by tbe Pol Star of th pasL.

Charrtpion's rule of t:on­dl. lct, aher all, i ' a very simple on e, we ll-expre 'sed in a paragraph from ~Ul old ers : "1 reH you tha t Labor's your friend s, and your n eig'l~bors Ies fathers, brot:h ·r · an l husbands with mothers and sweetl'iearts aml wives, Who love_ and who· hate, who dream a:n l who wait lt'·s real p eople)ivin.g their lives." -Our aim has been just to l::re "human" doing " those things that come natural." During- my period of active management in Champion, I have endeavored to apply these principles in rm.y daily contacts. The small portrait in ·the c.enter o.f this page shows a .future executive of Champion, who obviously: had a preference for Yal€ a a place of education while looking into the future with characteristic optimism. Today, Charnpion takes pride in the decisi veness and foresight of this young rnan who showed these fine executive qualities so early in his career. He is now on leave of absence as Vice-Chairman .of our Board of Directors, having r esigned the presidency in order to , serve our country in the Department of Defense. : his with real regret that he took this leave of absence, but as l1e said when his decision was :made, "If we as citizens are truly interested ·in the effectiveness of our Federal Government in its operations both at home and abroad, we must, when requested, .be willing to con­tribute our services to the extent that we are able.''' It is to Champion's credit, I think, that 0 1.. 1r management has always held such views, seeking to make· the company a good "corporate citizen" of our nation. . Reviewing the Definition _l have told you something of Champion's "THENM and Champion's "NO'\t\1."
