The box factory was established in 1905, and has been successfully operated by R.H.Dickinson since the plant was completed. The first output of boxes from the factory was the subject of considerable comment as to their excellence, and the plant has gained a wide reputation for making the best boxes in Northern Minnesota. The capacity of the plant is 3,000 boxes per day [sic], and Mr. Dickinson expects to make additions to the machinery that will materially increase that output.

In making the boxes all kinds of mixed soft wood is used, and the factory makes a specialty of cracker boxes, "in the making of which odorless timber is required.
