Up to that time there never had been used anywhere in the world a 100 per cent wood fiber white and colored tissue paper. The, general stock employed in tissue of that kind was what is called “rag stock." Through experimental work he was able to put onj the market a line of white and colored tissues, made ex- clusively from wood fiber, which en- abled him to furnish a commodity for a great many purposes where for- merly rag-stock white and colored tissues had been used, and a very nice margin of profit was left for the effort. In the development of this new product from wood fiber, not being & chemical engineer, Mr. Sweet worked out many of the tints and shades by making mixtures of dyes in ordinary wash dishes, and it was a courage- sapping, slow and tiring task to which he had set himself. Today he looks back with real gratifi- cation upon his persistency, which was crowned with success, for he developed the largest line of shades and colors made by any such manufacturing plant in_the country. “It was an awful, uphill, hard, gruel- ing grind,” he recalls. He literally came up through the mill, doing wli sorts of drudgery—carrying coal to the boitor, carrying the stock from the cars, preparing the stock in the beaters, tolling over the machine, carrying the product through te the finishing, rim- ing and bundling, and shipping it to the frade.

Having developed h uct, it was not long before the capacity of that first machine was outgrown. Then Mr. Sweet purchased adjoining water power, with an option on still other water power. On the new site he built @ two-machine mill, and found ready market for all radually other mills that had been making white and colored tissues only from raz stock began to turn' over and follow the th ve r.

A fire which destroyed the whole commercial and industrial center of the village wiped out the Sweet plant. But promptly on the same location of those two pioneer mills he built a model modern plant of reinforced concrete, brick and steel, equipped with the most up-to-date and efficient papermaking machinery for his particular line that can be found anywhere, Before building this new plant Mr. Sweet bought out his brother's share and incorporated the business. He be- came president and associated with him his son and other prominent paper in- terests {n neighboring territory. S0 the business was coptinued on a much larger scale of production than ever before. Representative Sweet stili continues as president and general manager. His son, Richard W. Swoeet, up to the time he ‘went into the world war, was in the mill learning the processes of the business. Upon his return from the war he again took up his duties in the mill and later became secretary of the corporation and operating manager of "R entative Sweet's papermaki Re; ntative Sweet's ng nhnlwi?!mnflned to white and colored tissues, white and colored specialties and medlum-weight crepe and whits papers.
