Title:
EJE 660
Description:
CN local crosses the former N. Union St. grade crossing and is about to disappear behind the north side of the historic Tuttle Press Co. factory, 600 E. Hancock St., as it heads northeast via former C&NW rails at Appleton, WI on 3 Sep. '15. The first part was constructed in 1905, over the years the factory grew until it occupied the entire city block as it does now. A. F. Tuttle, founder and president, invented the first multi-color web printing press for printing tissue paper. Fox Valley Corp., nothing but a holding company, purchased it at some point prior to the mid-1970s. It continued to operate as Tuttle Press Co. until early 1983, when the holding company merged it with George S. Carrington Co. of Leominster, Mass., to form Artfaire. Fox Valley Corp. moved this facility’s production to one of their other subsidiaries in Tenn. circa 1990. The facility then became Sulpaco West, Inc., part of Sullivan Paper Co. in Mass. They shuttered this facility on 27 Jun. ’02, when they moved its production to one of their other facilities in Mass. For about a century the facility produced a variety of renowned specialty papers: napkins, table covers, tissue, craft paper, gift boxes, crepe paper, even paper dolls, but especially gift wrapping paper. There aren’t any business signs on the building now and I haven’t been able to learn who currently owns it. The roof line above the TPPX car on the left is part of some new apartments or condominiums under construction where the historic Eagle Manufacturing Co. complex stood. Incorporated in Dec. 1888, Eagle made gasoline engines, tractors, and other farm implements. They built that factory in 1904, after they outgrew their original facility in the Flats. There was a diamond on the opposite side of the train (near the tree between the wood chip gondola and covered hopper) for two intersecting spurs that served Eagle, Ideal Lumber and Coal Co., and C. D. Rowell & Son, Manufacturing, makers of car movers.
