Corp, Chillicothe and Dayton, an­ nouncement being made Tuesday evp- , ning to employees who had been 'in­ vited to a smoker at the mill. The consideration is placed at $150,090;, The present plant was erected in 1893 and has been in almost , con­ tinuous operation ever since, the first, break coming with the depression, The plant was erected first to make straw ^ paper and later converted to a straw board mill with a daily capacity o f thirty tons. The company was owned by Miss Sarah. B. Hagar, Xenia) aud her niece, Mrs. Charles Galloway, Hubbard Woods, 111. Mr. W. W. Galloway was general manager and treasurer. * . The original owners odt'the com­ pany were the founders, Albert Hagar. and son, Edwin Hagar, the former be­ ing a paper maker ,o£ many, years ex- ' * perjence in the East, at Clifton, O., and in Xenia, The first company took over the Clifton water-power plant in-, ' 1868, and a new' company formed in 1893, Attorney John Little, Xenia, be- . ing associated with the Hagars. On ^ the death o f Edwin -Hagar by ’ motor' car accident the late George Little became president "but he sold his in­ terest to the Hagar family-in 1922.' For a number o f years the local'plant. was regarded as producing the best , straw board that was found -in $he market.. The sale o f the local company is in line with tha t.of many other paper mills the past year.. Several have been sold in Indiana, Ohio and Michi-. gan and most o f which haye been wrecked. The Mead Corp.- owns a- score or more o f mills in different' parts o f the country and is now erect- ' ing a very large mill in-Georgia. (The company makes '-.different kinds' of paper but specializes on magazine paper at the Chillicothe plant.

Under a new plan o f control-of production • with government sanction the. local- plant probably would-have been held down to three days operation each week; thus making it unprofitable. Mr. Fred B. Zurtman, Franklin, O., has been president o f the company for two and one-half years, representing the owners. Mr. Galloway, manager ' and treasurer, H. G. Funsett, super- . intendent, and J. Lloyd Confarr, pur­ chasing agent and assistant manager.
