Additional memo from Mr. Gumbinner 2 Building at the corner of Alexander and Ashburton

Mr. Halpern bought a lot and building at the corner of Ashburton Avenue and Alexander streets  from an oil company.  The main building was a story and a half.  In the top half there was an office for Mr. Halpern , one for the sales department  Elmer Crabbs was the sales manager.one for the purchasing agent who was Kay Moutal, who I married, and a laboratory.  There was a brick building and three sheds.  In charge of the coating and solution making was Fred Pollack., who had made stencils in Austria. His brother in law was Ernest Brunner who supplied Polychrome with the backing sheet on which the stencil was mounted.  When I arrived they stared to make the stencils from a roll of tissue. Before that Polychrome used Yoshino tissue from Japanese mulberry trees, which was only available as sheets.  The Dexter paper company in Windsor Locks, Conn. Made a tissue from long fiber hemp that was suitable for stencils.  They used an uphill Fourdrinier  to do this.  Their main business was cigarette paper.
