Center of photo shows Badger Mill, built in 1884. It produced 8 tons per day of rag newsprint.
Behind it is Reliance Mill, built of stone in 1868 by J. R. Kimberly as a flour mill. In 1877, J. R. sold it to his son, J. A. Kimberly.
Even farther back is the Globe Mill. It had a 72-inch paper machine and produced two tons per day of all-rag newsprint. It was built in 1872.
On far right is Kimberly & Clark finishing rooms. Commercial St. runs between it and the Badger Mill.
Crossing the bridge is Mr. J. A. Kimberly in a bobsled, coming to work.
The old lady is being stubborn apparently the demolition company are having difficulty knocking this building down.

Kimberly-Clark safety celebration at their Niagara, Wisconsin papermill in 1923. The safest paper mill crew in the world. This is a portion of a very long photograph on a scroll.
After dipping the mould into a vat of pulp and shaking off the excess water, papermaker Neil Hopkins of Two Rivers papermill in Exmoor, Somerset lays each soaking sheet of new paper on a flat bed ready to be squeezed in a press before being hung out to dry. This part of the process is called 'couching'.
This image is part of my "Working Lives, Lost Skills" project through which I am recording the work of some of the last known exponents of traditional rural crafts and industries. I hope to eventually use some of the images to develop an exhibition and possibly a book.
as far as I understand this is when greyboards were made from various ingredients including tarry ropes.
