TERRACE BAY -- 1946 -- From Wilderness to Industrial Sky-line in Less Than Two Years T WAS a warmish day in the spring of 1946 and a group of engineers were gathered around in a b'ueprint discus- sion, deep in the woods of the Province of Ontario. One of them, in all serious- ness, said, "Excuse me a minute; I've got to help move the Trans-Canada Highway." In a short while he was back again, his recommendation duly noted by the highway builders. This type of pioneer action was common and neces- sary in the preliminary construction that will culminate late next 'year in a new operation for Kimberly-Clark, namely a 300-ton pulp mill represented by a wholly-owned subsidiary called LongLac Pulp and Paper Company Limited. Officially Named in August, 1946 The location of this new pulp mill was officially named "Terrace Bay" on August 29, 1946; hence it is the "young- est" child to be born into the Corpora- tion family but there could be no better illustration of the pioneering spirit "which has built Kimberly-Clark. A hun- dred men were scattered everywhere in Terrace Bay, eighteen months ago; some were chopping down trees and burning brush; some were repairing a scraper that had lost a battle with nature; many more were building quarters for the con- struction manpower that was to flow in << CIVILIZATION ADVANCES APACE (1)From this beauty spot we can see the type of virgin wilderness that made up the Terrace Bay area two years ago.

The Picture Today In contrast let's look at the picture now--scarcely a year and a half later. The- first citizens of Terrace Bay have already established themselves; the first babies have been born; the first store, the first bank, and the first post office have been opened; forty telephones are now in use, averaging some 470 calls per _day; the first softball season has ended and the umpires acknowledged to be as "blind" as in any other community. Those Who Know the Story Best The men who wound tortuously through the bush know best how difficult has been the task already accomplished; a task which has brought about a new "sky-line" as Kimberly-Clark passes its 75th milestone in business. Pictures help tell the story, and those which appear on these pages illustrate some phases of activity as the people of Terrace Bay fashion an industrial community out of the Canadian wilderness. Their spirit is in keeping with that which has prevailed for so many years in other Kimberly- Clark communities and we feel sure that the Province of Ontario will be proud of its latest newcomer. No amount of genius, not accom- panied by perserverance, will ensure suc- cess; the secret of success is the con- ~stancy of purpose.
