Since 1893

By the time this matchbook was produced in the 1960's, the John Strange Paper Company had had a long history in Menasha.  see:  http://menashabook.blogspot.com/2012/06/john-strange.html 

In 1969 Menasha Corporation merged with the John Strange Paper Company, creating the Appleton Manufacturing Division and a majority interest in the Wisconsin Container Corporation, later to become Menasha's Solid Fibre Division.   In 1981, the firm was sold to US Papers, and in 2002, to Sonoco.
