Menasha Carton

 

Pictured at the left is the Menasha Carton Company.  It later merged with the Menasha Printing Company at the right, and became, logically, the Menasha Printing and Carton Company.  This was the forerunner for the Menasha Products Company, which became Marathon Corporation, then American Can, and then James River Corporation.  Before the plant closed in July of 1998, it had become Fort James Corporation, formed through the merger of Fort Howard Corporation, Green Bay, and James River Corporation, Richmond, Va. This photo dates from about 1905.
