The MEAD CORPORATION (open by appointment), W. Main St.,
manufactures paper for magazines and books, and produces 100 tons of
paper daily. The wood used by the Mead Corporation is shipped from
seven Southern States, and the Kingsport Press uses a part of the output.

"The Mead" which opened in 1916 is now owned by Domtar link . The primary product is photocopy paper. (Remember that we were to be a "paperless" society by now.)
"The Press", which was across the street, is gone (literally, as the buildings are being torn down).
