This photograph was featured in Paper With a Presence, A Gilbert Century, published in 1987 to commemorate the centennial of the Gilbert Paper Company. At the time of this photograph, Gilbert Paper was just 3 years old. William Gilbert had been in business with George A. Whiting since 1881, but sold his interests in 1886 to found his own company a year later.
It's wonderful to see such a great photo of the company employees with all the names documented. This must have been something of a priority for the owners of Gilbert Paper, as per all of the employee events documented in photos as seen on the Neenah Historical Society Flickr page.

There must have been an almost family-like atmosphere at Gilbert Paper.
