The Log of Champion Activities

Between 1914 and the late 1960s, the Champion Paper and 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.• • ' • • • . . . • • • • S E-P J t M B ~ .R 19 4 0 • • ' • t CONTENTS Page The Growlh of Our Country p ar1 2.5-Mi.s.auri - -- -- - - - - - - - - - 2 Ham.illon Champions take Pan in "Paqe.ant of Pairioiis1n" ______ . _ _ 4 Pri~es.
