Menasha Products Company




 
This postcard depicts the Menasha Products Company, a division of the Marathon Paper Mills Company that manufactured paper and paperboard products for packaging and distribution of food.    On the reverse, this postcard touted its employment force of over 1000 people and the twenty or more carloads of products leaving daily from the facility. 
  
This postcard is pre-1957, as American Can Company purchased Marathon in that year.

    Do you know where this building is/was located? I can't picture it.
