1893 – documented to 1907
The company: Howard's manufactures chapter gives the paper-box works its own short section, and it stands here at Howard's size. The Folding Paper Box Company was incorporated on 2 December 1893 with a capital of $25,000; the incorporators were William H. Barger, Marvin Campbell, and Myron Campbell. The Campbell family held the company through the period Howard covers: in 1907 Marvin Campbell was its president, John B. Campbell its secretary, Myron Campbell its treasurer, and John Campbell its manager, and Howard's judgment on the house is that it "prospered from the beginning." No later course for the company was verified; the entry closes where Howard closes.
