  • An air view of the Canton, North Carolina, division of The Champion Paper and Fibre Company The Champion Organization AND PLANT FACILITIES THE Champion mills' structure is made up of three divisions. At Hamilton, Ohio, are the paper and coating mills, incorporated on November 2, 1893, and manufacturing operations starting May 1, 1891, at the beginning of the commercial development of coated paper. In the Hamilton plant is produced a wide range of coated and un- coated papers required by the printing industry for advertising and by business and commerce, including printing papers, cardboards, bonds, bristols and postcard. The Canton, North Carolina, division was established in 1908 for producing wood pulp and extract. The Canton mill produces soda, sulphite and sulphate pulp to the extent of four hundred tons daily capacity, as well as a wide variety of uncoated papers for printing and industrial uses, including halftone printing papers, bond papers, tablet writings, envelope papers, press boards, tagboards, file folder boards, postcard and a wide range of industrial papers for specific application. The latest addition to the Champion manufacturing facilities is a new pulp mill at Houston, Texas, where daily two hundred tons of the newly developed Champion bleached sulphate pulp are made. Champion also produces a variety of byproducts which form a very important part in the technical structure of the organization. These products include such important ones as caustic soda, liquid rosin, turpentine, Bindex (lignin binder) and hydrogen. From its small beginning in 1894 to its present large size, Champion experienced two major periods in American industrial progress. First was the manufacture of paper by traditional rule of thumb procedure; making a product as an art. Second, the transition from this type of manufacturing to the production of paper and other products under scientific control, technical methods and tested materials with modern equipment; a development, incidentally, in which the Champion mills took a pioneering position. During this transitional period a far reaching and effectively well organized research program was established. Now in the Champion organization, the research and technical control development, comprising a group of more than one hundred and fifty men, covering a wide field of physics, chemistry and engineering, has established a degree of progress in control over method and quality that deserves recognition of leadership in the industry. 31
