A Brief History of the Brown Paper Company | Summer 2012 | Artic
Businessman W. W. Brown took notice, and in 1868 he established the Berlin Mills Company, later Brown Paper, in Berlin. The town took off and didn't look back. By 1903, the everexpanding mill complex housed a wood yard, pulp dryers, newsprint machines, and a hydroelectric plant. The mill was producing 200 tons of paper per day.
