T HE Newton Paper Company is another of the many examples of indus- trial success which are to be found in the industrial history of Holyoke. Starting with one machine and an output of three to four tons of paper daily, this plant now ships extensively throughout the west and to Australia and Can- ada. Its products include the "Elephant Brand," extra water-proof sheathing paper ; "Medal Brand," corrugated carpet lining; noiseless deadening felt for floors and high grade heavy wrapping papers. .
The Newton Paper Company originated the red rosin-sized sheathing paper, now an international commodity and its "Medal Brand" corrugated carpet lining was awarded the medal of honor at the Paris exposition in 1878.
The Newton Paper Company was originally established by James Ramage and Moses Newton in 1874. It was then know under the firm name of Newton and Ramage. In 1876 it was incorporated as the Newton Paper Company, with a capital stock of $24,000, which was increased to $72,000 in 1883. The incorporators were Moses Newton, James Ramage, James H. Newton and George A. Clark.

JEWELER

Mr. Rand learned the business from the late James W. Meacham, entering his employ in the spring of 1869, where he served an apprenticeship of about three years. He then entered the store of the late Albert G. Taylor, of Springfield, hav- ing entire charge of the watch repairing depart- ment, until the spring of 1878, when he opened a repair shop, with a small stock of goods, occu- pying one window of the corner store in the old Holyoke House, and within a few years occupied the whole store, now used by the Mechanics Bank.
After remaining twenty-three years in this loca- tion, he removed to High Street, where he re- mained seven years. The rents became prohibi- tive and he was forced to remove to his present location, where in spite of cramped quarters and a side street location, he has built up a success- full business and enjoys an enviable reputation for handling reliable and up to date goods in his line.
