May 7, 1930: "The work of installing a third paper making machine in the local paper mill is now about completed, and the machine is to placed in operation next Monday.
The machine is being set up under the direction of John Ziegler, erector for the company who came here from Camas, Wash., for that purpose. The electrical installation is in charge of Fred Slevey, who is electrical superintendent for the company at the Camas plant.
The machine was moved here from the Camas plant, where it had been in operation since 1913.

Its operation will require the employment of about ten more men, so it will be quite a factor in adding to the prosperity and upbuilding of the town." (The Lebanon Express)
