Marathon Mills

Here's a nice linen postcard view of the Marathon Mills in Menasha.  I'm not sure what that interesting looking tower is in the left center though. 

As covered previously in this blog, Marathon was organized in 1909 in Wausau, but didn't become a presence in Menasha until 1927 when it acquired Menasha Printing and Carton Company, a manufacturer of bread wrappers and paper containers for food.  Later, printing capabilities and its own ink plant were added, making the then Marathon company the largest printer in the world.
