Abstract:

Ownership and management records of an Algoma hardwood plywood manufacturing firm. The firm has undergone several mergers and name changes since its organization as the Ahnapee Veneer and Seating Company in 1892: Algoma Panel Company (1916); Algoma Plywood and Veneer Company (1931); Algoma Division, United States Plywood (1940); Algoma Division, United States Plywood-Champion Papers, Inc. (1967); Algoma Hardwoods, Inc. (1977). The records document most aspects of the company's operations, with the exception of the activities of the board of directors, including correspondence and legal documents relating to stockholders and mergers; general management correspondence; financial records including general, sales, production, and employees accounts covering all aspects of the company's operations; correspondence and legal documents regarding legal cases; correspondence, legal documents, and deeds of real estate owned by the company; and correspondence, working papers, and income tax returns for federal and state taxes. Following the close of the plant in 1976 by U.S. Plywood-Champion Papers, Inc., local citizens purchased the plant and reopened it in March 1977.
