C., Thursday, November 12, 1953 Number 46 Paper Box Plant Of This City Has Heavy Output Clinton Paper Box Co. One of Largest Produc ers In State. Headed By L. N. Warren, Manager. Blue Hose Meet WCTC Friday In Last Home Game LOCAL MASONS AWARDED PINS AT BANQUET More than 100,000 paper boxes pour out of the Clinton Paper Box company plant making it South Carolina’s second largest producer in this field. Local residents thus proudly rec ognize another outstanding plant in the county’s diversified indus trial pattern. Lawrence N. Warren, secretary- treasurer and general manager of the company, pointed out he is run ning at full capacity in supplying paper box needs for a radius of 100 miles. He has expanded twine in the past three years and stands ready for further increased produc tion if the future business outlook gives favorable indication. Only last year he added 2,000 square feet of floor space and he has just completed new offices and lounges. The company makes its product from the raw stock, to be sold di rectly to the manufacturer. This raw stock is simply a flat sheet of cardboard which the company de signs into specified sizes according to customers’ use. Six machines, all performing different jobs, are required to turn out the finished product. Most of the output is concentrat ed in three types of boxes: for use by hosiery, garment and candy pro ducers. Mr. Warren said his com pany takes particular pride in its fancy full-fashion hosiery box with special wraps made for the C W. Anderson Hosiery company of this city. Mr. Warren credits hosiery com pany president C. W. Anderson with being instrumental in his es tablishing the paper box company here in 1950. He said he was a stockholder and manager of a simi- , ]ar plant in North Carolina which then produced hosiery boxes for Mr. Anderson. When the owners liquidated the firm, Mr. Anderson persuaded Mr. Warren to establish a paper box company here and as sisted in locating the necessary fa cilities. The company also makes boxes for another local concern, the Hall mark Shirt Manufacturing Corpor ation, and its 100-mile sales radius . dips into these other large markets: Charlotte, Greenville, Columbia, Spartanburg and Greenwood; .well as Newberry, Saluda Kidfe Springs. The company is one of four paper box plants now producing in South Carolina. It is outproduced only .by a large, established Greenville linn, and has within its three short years ^ of operation grown to exceed the output of an old Anderson com pany :in taking over the number \two position. Mr. Warren incorporated the ’•ompany and sold stock in 1951. He retained the post of. secretary- ’treasurer and general manager, at which time T. E. Addison was mamed president of the corporation, I* W. Cooper, vice-president, and H. P. Hamer and Dr. George R. Blalock, directors. Ray Thomas is production su perintendent of the company, di recting the work of 28 other em ployees.

The most de cisive came last year when PC ran and passed its Way to a rousing 44- 6 victory.

This year he has pick ed right up from that point and gone on to phenomenal heights as a passer. In the five games since he returned from injury, the Sene ca sniper has completed 57 passes in 118 attempts for 693 yards and 6 touchdowns.
