The Log Vol. 37 No. 06

Between 1914 and the late 1960s, the Champion Fibre Company published an internal newsletter, called The Log, to share news about the Canton mill, the community, and its employees. After 1940, news from the entire “Champion Family,” which included mills in Hamilton, Ohio; Houston, Texas and Sandersville, Georgia, was featured in each issue.I I I / • ' • u N E • 1 9 5 4 • • • • • OUR COVER "Th · ltot.) 11te b11i11 ' ttp lll 'V<:'t h11··'"- \ 'Ortl enough to tn :d'lc :uw Carolina Ch:mrpion head Cor white \\,Her wi.th rod , t!~d ''nd <te I.
