EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the bustling paper mills of Messrs. Albert E. Reed and Co. in Aylesford, Kent during January 1932. The sheer scale of this operation is mind-boggling as we learn that their yearly output of newsprint alone amounts to a staggering 850,000 miles of paper! With each sheet measuring five feet wide, one can only imagine the vastness of this industrial endeavor. However, it's not just newsprint that these skilled workers are producing; they have also ventured into manufacturing Kraft paper - a robust packing material commonly used for cement bags and other heavy-duty applications. Traditionally sourced from Scandinavia, Messrs. Reed have taken on the challenge by installing Europe's largest machine dedicated to Kraft paper production. In this snapshot frozen in time, we witness a group of diligent women sorting, counting, and meticulously packing both white and Kraft paper sheets. Their expertise shines through as they handle each piece with care and precision amidst the humdrum atmosphere of the mill. This image serves as a testament to the dedication and hard work put forth by these unsung heroes who played an integral role in shaping the paper industry during the early 20th century. It captures not only their tireless efforts but also showcases how innovation allowed manufacturers like Messrs. Albert E. Reed and Co. , against all odds, to diversify their product range while maintaining exceptional quality standards. Sunday Pictorial's Memory Lane Prints truly transports us
