Lawrence Claims One of West's Oldest Paper Products Industries
Editor's Note: This is the first in a series of articles on Lawrence industry.
By CONNIE PARISH Kansan Staff Writer
The next time you use a box or buy something packaged in a box, check to see where the box was made. Chances are good it may have been manufactured by the Lawrence Paper Company. The
Lawrence Paper Co., which produces Jayhawk Boxes, was in town. Founded in 1882 by J. B. Bowerse in one of the industries, it claims the distinction of being the first paper mill in operation west of the city.
And when methods of corrugating material were developed in the early 1900s, it became one of the first companies in the United States to go into corrugated box manufact-
BEFORE THAT, articles had been packaged in wooden boxes, containers made of wire and wood or solid fiber boxes made of thick solid sheets of paper. Corrugated boxes were much heavier and also costed in lower freight costs for shipping products.
Crown, vice president in charge of sales at Lawrence Paper C
From eggs to candies to vending machines, nearly all products found in retail stores are packaged in boxes at one of the world's largest users are food and allied products, which constitutes approximately 29.4 per cent of corrugated packaging business.
OTHER MAJOR USERS are producers of household furnishings and appliances and machinery.
Jayhawk Boxes made in Lawrence are mainly shipped within a 200-mile radius of the city. They limit the distribution area, he explained. Most of the boxes are shipped by truck, and the company owns and operates its own distribution as using commercial carriers.
National Beef packing Co. in Baltimore, Md., has the biggest second, according to Crown. Many local industries use their machines to TNT Paperco, Tacker Burnett Medical Institutions, the Kansas Color Press and Stokley-

A branch office located in Freemont, Neb., which makes boxes exclusively, employs 50 persons.
The major industry, that of box-making, takes place at the new plant at 2801 Lakeview Road. The company moved into nearly a year ago.
THE COMPANY no longer produces all of its own paper, but makes up part of the paper buy from other companies, but some paper-making still takes place at the paper mill where it is made. Though the paper machine is quite old, Crown said, it is used to produce some specialty grades of paper.
Because of the huge quantity of water used, paper mills must be located by a river. Crown cocoa is shipped from a million to a million and a half gallons of water each day, and much of it is returned after being dried.
From 800 to 1,200 tons of old waste paper are also recycled each month at the old plant. Most of this recycled paper is contained in a small bag, though a small percent of it is sold to companies that produce

Until the recent emphasis on ecology, Crown explained, recycled paper was not well designed and were usually more defects in recycled paper, and in most cases the process used by virgin material resulted in lower costs. In many cases it is actually cheaper to use new paper, according to Crown.

Patek Sparks Rally in Ninth To Lift Royals Past Boston
BOSTON (AP) — Pred Patcket tied the game with a two-run double and then Amos Olsen won it with a two-run single as Kansas City rallied for four runs in the second half of Red Sox 42 Tuesday night.
The Royals, unable to break through against Bill Lee with the defense, loaded them again in the ninth with one out to set the stage for the final.
Bob Bolin then relieved Lee and with men on second and third was touched for Oi's game-winning hit that helped the Rangers win the ninth straight time at Fenwark Park and the 19th time in the last
22 games.
Daddy Cater drove in both of Boston's runs to give starter Marty Pattin a chance and Marty Pattin was taken in favor of Lee when he loaded the bases with one out and the bases pitcher stopped the Royals cold.
Cater's sacrifice飞 scored Boston's first run in the fourth inning and then the first baseman on a third. The RBI double in the sixth.
