rollers are tom apart end the whole tank 18 thoroughly mixed. 

 About 3600 pounds of wraps are mixed at one tino. The sizing 

 Trhich consists of rosin, soda ash and alun is added. This 

 gives the paper the desired hardness and finish the rule being 

 the more rosin advd the harder the finish secured. After a 

 thorough mixins, the pulp is reedy for manufacture Into 

 papor enr* is stored In large vats beneath the factory until 

 noeded. 



Just before the paper is made, the pulp is pumped 

 into another grinder consisting of tro conical cylinders 

 flying at opposite directions at a very high rate of speed. 

 Hero the pulp receives its last bo&tin<? and all fibers are 

 thoroughly torn apart. It flows out of this beater into a 

 series of sraall troughs whore it is mixed rith soda ash and 

 water and then flows smoothly out upon a very fine wire 

 screen nine feet wide. This screen revolves at a rate of 

 300 feet a minute and at the same time has a Jerking move- 

 ment from side to side similar to that of a "Jig" familiar 

 to all minors. This shades the fibers out so they all 

 lie flat besides thoroughly mixing them. The water 

 gradually drops through the screen, three steel rollers 

 helping to press it out. The pulp has now assumed the look 

 of pa?er. 



It is then tc?:en off the wire screen and is rolled 

 upon a felt bend vhere it is pcssed between more rolls and 

 over tro suckers which draw out still more of the water, 

 last of all the paper passes eround twenty five large re- 

 volving steam-heated cylinders and through ono to twenty 

 four hard steel and corner presses to give it a gloss, the 

 more rolls it passes through the glossier or harder finish 

 received. The peper is reeled off nine feet wide at the 

 rate of throe hundred feet a minute upon steol cores until 

 a roll two feet in diameter is accumulated. 



Tissue paper for wrapping fruit is made In the 

 same manner. The pulp simply flows out more slowly and 

 consequently the paper is thinner. It lies on felt bands 

 until the water is sucked out and then is passed nroxind 

 a single large steam-heated cylinder about twelve feet in 

 diameter where it is driod. It is then run between stool 

 and copper presses or burnishers and rolled on stool cores. 



The rolls of peper are carried on trucks and 

 placed on an unwrapping machine Yrhere the paper is unrolled 

 and run over a oeries of knives which cut it into any
