Simpson Lee Paper Portfolio Rare Paper PortfolioSamples of Paper Products Simpson-Lee Paper Company Vicksburg, Michigan - Kalamazoo Valley CHECK OUT THIS RARE SIMPSON PAPER PORTFOLIO (SAMPLER) This fantastic book (portfolio) contains samples of paper sold by the Simpson Lee paper Company. Wee cannot find a year on the portfolio but research into the history gives us some indication of when it was produced to sell its paper goods. HISTORY:Vicksburg’s Lee Paper Company, later Simpson Paper Co. and most recently known as Fox River Paper Co., was originally built to fill a need for a rag-content paper mill in the Kalamazoo Valley paper producing region. Vicksburg was selected because it had a good supply of clean water, two railroads and was centrally located to possible paper markets. Eighty-percent of the mill’s production was directed at the war effort during World War II. The post-war era brought a boom in business and major plant expansions. By this time the emphasis was on producing paper from wood pulp rather than rags, and in 1959 Lee Paper Company merged with a division of Simpson Timber Co. to form Simpson-Lee Paper Company, which in later years became simply Simpson Paper Company.
