WORONOCO SAVINGS BANK.


The Woronoco Bank was incorporated May 5, 1871, and commenced business July 1, the same year. The first president was Samuel Horton; first treasurer. Royal Weller, cashier Hampden National Bank ; first secretary, Edward B. Gillett. L. R. Norton succeeded Mr. Horton as president in June, 1882, and Darwin L. Gil- lett, the present president, succeeded Mr. Norton in June, 1886. There have been but two treasurers of the bank, Mr. Weller and his son, the present incumbent, Charles L. Weller. The confidence of the community in the financial ability and integrity of the first treasurer gave the bank an impetus which has continued to the present time. The bank has never turned away an applicant for a loan for the want of funds, and has always paid every depositor upon request the funds standing against his name. The present officers of the bank are: President, Darwin L. Gillett; vice-presidents, E. R. Van Deusen, William Provin, John Fowler and J. S. Clark, Trustees : D. L. Gillett, Thomas Kneil, L. R. Norton, M. L. Robinson, O. B. Parks, J. R. Reed, Henry Fuller, O. O. Granger, C. R. Fowler, S. B. Campbell, L. F. Root, W. C. Clark, S. A. Allen and F. S. Dewey, Jr. Secretary, Henry Fuller. The deposits now amount to $1,069,163.71.

CRANE BRO'S, PAPER MANUFACTURERS.


RANE BROTHERS' name has become indelibly associated with the work of paper manufactur- ing in Western Massachusetts, and this is solely because of their superb Ledger and Record pa- pers, which have no superior in their kind, while many consider them immeasurably beyond any- thing elsewhere produced. The first paper maker of this now notable family, Zenas Crane, estab- lished his mill in Dalton in 1801, and they are his grandsons, J. Arthur and Robert B. Crane, who are now keeping green the family name in Westfield. They are paper makers by hereditary liking, hav- ing mastered the rudiments of the trade in the mills of Crane & Co. They began business in a modest way at Westfield in 1868, and have been continually enlarging their mills, this year making still another important addition, which, partially completed, shows on the right of the upper engraving on this page. The capacity of the original mill has been more than quadrupled.


MAIN MILLS OF CRANE BROTHERS (PAPER MANUFACTURERS), WESTFIELD, MASS.


The main group of mills is situated two miles from the Boston and Albany, and New York, New Haven and Hartford station in Westfield, while the smaller mill is a mile or so farther up the stream, a small river having its source in the hills at the west. A spur track connects the mill with railroads running to all points of the compass. The central building of the main group is the original mill known as the "Japanese" mill. The manufacture of the famous " Japanese Linen " is now, however, carried on at the "Glen" mill, as also is the " Warranted All Linen" brand, while the Japanese mills are used exclusively for the Gold Medal Linen Ledger and Record papers. This mill is shown separately.


All rags used are cut by hand, as the quality of goods made require this treat- ment, machine cutting being available for lower grades of paper only. The proper length of fibre can only be obtained by this process of hand cutting. The usual processes of dusting prevail, but after the last dusting, still further inspection by hand is necessary to ensure perfection before the alkali is applied for bleaching.


Special attention is given in the beating engines, after the pulp has been washed, ac- cording to the paper to be made, five to ten hours being necessary in ordinary writing paper and from twelve to twenty-four hours when Ledger and Linen papers are made.


When the pulp goes into the stuff-chest it represents the sum of all that human knowledge, patience, ingenuity and watchfulness can do toward the preparation of the material for a paper that shall be clear, even and solid in its substance, strong in its fibre, with an easy writing surface, and, what is of great importance in ledger and record books, capable of erasure without destruction of the writing surface; and it is one of the achievements on which Crane Brothers especially pride them- selves that an erasure on their ledger and record paper requires no pumice or rubbing to smooth it for rewriting. The Ledger and Record papers are made in all the stand-

ard sizes and weights, from 15 x 19 inches, and weighing 22 pounds to the ream, through the different sizes and weights of Demy, Medium, Royal, Super Royal, Ele- phant, Imperial, Double Cap, Double Demy, Double Medium, Double Royal, Colombier, Atlas, and Double Elephant, the latter 27 X 40 inches and weighing 125 pounds to the ream, while a still larger and heavier size is Antiquarian, almost as thick as cardboard, 31 X 53 inches and weighing 200 pounds per ream.


One peculiarity obtains in this mill in reference to the water-marks. Reputa- tion for quality in any line is a great desideratum, and Crane Brothers are fully alive to the importance of impressing upon every consumer of their goods the fact that they maintain a degree of excellence not surpassed. While many paper makers introduce a water-mark into their papers, they often do so in a haphazard sort of way, impressing the paper in any situation, regardless of uniformity or regularity. Every sheet of paper made in this mill is water-marked with their trade- mark in the same place on each sheet, and in binding or ruling, with but little care each sheet will show the mark right side up and facing the observer.


Years ago the tendencies of trade were recognized by Crane Brothers, and to protect themselves they adopted and patented the crane as their trade-mark.


Another important point finds its highest exemplification in these mills. The absolute necessity for good water in making paper is probably well known, but pure water is almost impossible in many localities. The Crane Brothers have as nearly pure water as is obtainable, conveying it from springs in the mountains and insuring more than ordinary cleanliness. In fact, a poorer water would not allow the making of such grades as they produce.


In order to demonstrate the reputation the papers made here possess, it is only necessary to note their phenomenal success in prize competitions. The highest award for record paper was obtained at the Centennial exposition at Philadel- phia in 1876, grand prize gold medals were received at the Paris exposition of 1878 and at the Melbourne exposition in 1880. The New Orleans World's exposition of 1885 awarded the grand prize gold medal. A diploma was received from the American Institute in 1890, and a bronze medal from the Franklin Institute of Philadelphia in the same year, while the highest award was given at Berlin in 1878, and Mechanics Institute, Boston, 1890.


While paper making is the prime feature of these mills, yet the manufacture of wares of a multitude of varieties from linen waste is now of much importance. This line of goods is known as Linenoid. Over twenty years ago this firm made paper belts for large and small pulleys. The belts used on the large pulleys are very serviceable, as is illus- trated by the use of one which has been for fifteen years on five-foot pulleys in the mill of Crane & Co., Dalton. These belts are now made to order only. The variety of goods made from linen waste comprises an elegant line of canoes and other small boats, domes for observatories, resistance boards for electricians, coverings for account books, toboggans, trunks, valises, hand bags, telescope tubes, fire buckets, baskets of all kinds, bath and washtubs, um- brella holders, knife trays, triangles used on pool tables, beside many other useful articles. The goods made this way are waterproof and seamless and so accumulate no dirt and dust, and can easily be washed out. This branch of the business is growing rapidly, especially the boat department.

THE MOUNT TOM SULPHITE PULP COMPANY.


The process of paper making is described with considerable detail in an article at the beginning of this department. Wood pulp was there mentioned as an important ingredient of writing papers, and it will but supplement and complete that article to tell here the story of pulp making.


The Mount Tom mill, although not in Hampden county, is the only one of the kind in Hampden county vicinity. There are several such in Maine where spruce timber, which is the raw material, abounds; but in central Massachusetts a spruce tree is a rarity, and even back among the hills there are only scattered patchesof them. At Mount Tom, how- ever, in close proximity to the pulp mill is located a big lumber company which floats millions of feet of spruce logs, yearly, down from the head waters of the


PICTURESQUE HAMPDEN.


The interior of the digester building is to the visitor quite impressive. Several immense circular tanks, like upright boilers, rise into the upper glooms of the building. Each of these great steel digesters weighs over forty tons, and when filled each holds eight cords of chips and twenty-eight tons of bisulphite liquor. This liquor the Mount Tom Company manufactures on the spot. To visit this department suggests a de- scent to the infernal regions described in detail by Dante and certain theologians. The air is charged with sulphurous odors to an extent that very quickly brings the visitor to the sneezing point, and when the lid of one of the curious ovens is lifted a bit that he may look in and see the softly leaping blue flames, he finds it advisable to hold his nose. The fumes of the burning sulphur are passed through five great tanks of lime rock, one after the other, each twenty-two feet high, where they meet and unite with water trickling


years. The process was discovered in this country, but was perfected in Germany. Before that time the alkali process was in use, with poplar wood for the raw material. For most purposes this has been super- seded by spruce wood and the sulphite process. Spruce excels for length and strength of fibre. Pine ranks next in quality. The pulp is used in all kinds of paper, but more particularly in the finer grades.


When the improvements now under way are com- pleted the Mount Tom mill will be one of the largest of its kind in the country. Its capacity will be twenty- fiye tons of finished product per day. In its situation, with its freight conveniences and close proximity to abundant raw material and at the same time to the Holyoke paper mills, with all of which it has direct telephone connections, the mill enjoys unusual ad- vantages. At the same time the location is worthy of remark as one of quite striking picturesqueness. The

Connecticut. After getting what boards and laths they can from the logs, there still remain the slabs and waste ends, and of these the sawmill itself can make no further use. This is the material utilized by the pulp mill. From the sawmill to the pulp mill a few rods distant runs a little narrow guage railroad. The loaded cars are pushed by hand or drawn by a single horse directly into the part of the mill where the pro- cess of reducing them to pulp is to begin. Here are machines which make quick work of scraping off the bark and such parts as may be decayed, and other ma- chines which bore out the knots. There is leftonly the clear, solid wood. The sticks are then fed to a voracious monster in the shape of a machine that chews them up into thin, inch-square chips at the rate of nearly ten cords an hour. The chips fall from this machine into an air blast which forces them up a sixty-five-foot pipe to the top story of the digester building. The pipe is of steel, for any metal less hard would be quickly eaten through by the fiercely driven bits of wood.


down through and thus form the bisulphite liquor.


When a digester has been filled the contents are cooked under seventy-five pounds steam pressure for eighteen hours. Then the contents are drawn off into a big vat whence they are pumped as needed to the washing engines. The material is wood no longer. It is soft and pulpy, light in color, with a slight brownish tinge. The washing engines and the machine over which it is run in making it into paper are the same in plan as those described in the article on paper making. For high-grade papers the pulp, after being washed, is bleached. When shipped the pulp for the most part has been made into a heavy soft paper put up in rolls or bundles. The process requires the use of a vast deal of water, and the Mount Tom Company has in use a pumpwith a daily capacity of 4,000,000 gallons, an amount more than sufficient to supply a city of twelve or fifteen thousand inhabitants.


The first successful making of pulp by the sulphite process on any large scale dates back about fifteen


mill stands on the bank of an old loop of the Connec- ticut river left stagnant some fifty years ago, when the stream cut across the narrow dividing neck of land. On this near water thousands of spruce logs are float- ing awaiting their turn at the sawmill. Beyond to the south, Mount Tom's rugged form rises steeply, while eastward, across the river, is seen the long range of Mount Holyoke. On the level near the mills are several boarding houses, and about twenty acres cov- ered with immense piles of slabs. Beyond to the north and west are pretty stretches of meadow land dotted with elms, and far off, glimpses of the blue hills.


The Mount Tom Sulphite Pulp Company is of re- cent organization and began manufacturing no further back than July, 1891. It has the following list of directors : William A. Russell, president; A. N. Bur- bank, treasurer; William Whiting, George Van Dyke, Charles C. Springer and Hales W. Sutor. Mr. Springer is the managing director and has general charge and oversight of affairs at the mill.
