In consequence, there was built in 1914 the Deje Paper Mill which embraces

5 paper-making machines. .This factory is equipped with the most up-to-date
machinery and as a result of this, and of the excellence of the raw material employed

from Deje Sulphate Works there is obtained at the Deje Paper Mills a kraft paper
which, in point of quality, is not, we venture to assert, surpassed by that of any other
make. The excellence in quality is due in part to the fact that the close
neighbourhood of the two factories permits of direct transport of the sulphate pulp to the
paper mill without the raw material deteriorating through drying.

The machinery of the Deje Paper Mill allows of the production, with normal
running, of about 50 tons per 24 hours, or 15,000 tons yearly. The mills have been

erected with an eye to future extensions when a suitable opportunity occurs.

The kraft paper manufactured at Deje forms the most excellent wrapping paper.
During the war it was also employed with the greatest success for the production of
so-called spinning paper, i. e., it was employed as a substitute for various other textile

materials, such as hemp, jute, wool, etc.

At Deje Sulphate Works there is made from the waste lyes, turpentine, methyl
alcohol and liquid resin. The yearly production of these substances amounts to:

Turpentine..............................about 60 tons

Methyl-alcohol........................... » 25—50 »

Sulphate resin........................... » 180 »

That part of the paper manufactured at Deje which is not placed in the home
market is exported, chiefly via Gothenburg, whither, as a rule, it is transported by
rail. When anything occurs to prevent this railway transport, the paper can also be
sent to Gothenburg, during the summer, by lake Vänern steamers via Karlstad.

Forshaga Sulphite Works, situated in the neighbourhood of the Klarafors

Sulphite Works already described, was established in 1894, but has since been con-

siderably enlarged. It is equipped with 5 rotating boilers, pyrites furnaces and 2
drying machines.

The yearly production of the works amounts to about 12,000 tons bleached
sulphite pulp of the best quality. Before the breaking out of the war, this sulphite
enjoyed a good market especially in the U. S. A. and other transatlantic countries.

During the last few years, however, it has mostly been placed in France, Switzerland,

Holland and the countries of the Mediterranean, w’here it is probably one of the most
general and the best known brands of to day.
