The familiar square chimney of the George A. Whiting Paper Company provides a stark contrast against the sky on a crisp, cold day.  The weathered bricks do not belie the history of this stalwart employer, in continuous operation since 1882. Despite being one of the smallest and oldest mills in Wisconsin, it was managed under five generations of family ownership until January, 2014 when it was sold to its current CEO.  After over 130 years, Whiting continues.
