Esleeck Manufacturing Company Records, 1898-19873 boxes (4.5 linear feet).
Esleeck Manufacturing Company, a paper manufacturing company in Turners Fall, was established by Augustine W. Esleeck in 1900. First associated with the Valley Paper Mills of Holyoke, Esleeck later became interested in Turners Falls, believing the town to be the ideal location for a mill. Eager to be a good neighbor, the company sought to use local labor and to purchase products from local firms to be used in their manufacturing. After more than 100 years of continuous operation, Esleeck was purchased by Southworth Co. in 2006.
The collection consists chiefly of financial records, but also includes minute books from 1898-1961 that capture the the company’s early history.
