Dr. William P. Garveyhistory. "They came to us," said Mc -Quillen. The process began in January,1984 and continued through May, 1385,when the f inal copy of the manuscriptwas submi t ted.

The book tells about a small papermill that began back in 1898 and strug-gled to survive through the Depressiony e a r s , w h e n m a n y A m e r i c a nbusinesses fai led. Even with the oddsagainst them, Hammermil l has emerg-ed as a giant corporation, a Fortune500 company and an em ployer of over12,000. :; ;.; ;/ -^ * ;Both McQuillen and Garvey agreedthat McQuil len would do the basicresearch and they would collaberateon the wri t ing of the text. "Recordsfrom the corporate headquarters here| in Erie were the primary source," Mc-Quillen said. "But I also interviewedprominent retirees and executives ofthe company," McQui l len added.Basical ly, the first six chapters![evolve around the "personal touch"that Hammermil l possesses: the peo-ple, the struggles, the discoveries, themovement. This was maintained until;the mid-1940s. At that time, the com-pany went through a period of transfor-mation including the new emergingtechnology, the expansion of the cor-poration and the diversi f ication of theproduct.Hamm ermil l was the first paper com-pany to develop paper for Xerox. Infact, the corporation was the soledeveloper for years until a mutualagreement was reached for other sup-pl iers to join the market.Surprisingly enough, each type andbrand of paper Hammermil l producesis put through 31 di fferent tests.

"Some of these tests include: moisturecontent, strength and electrostaticchange," said McQuil len."I used to think a piece of paper wasjust another piece of paper," said Mc-Qui l lan. "It 's amazing how many dif-ferent types of paper there are for one|kind," he said, referring to one par-t icular brand categorized into di fferentkinds, due to weight, f inish and grade."Hammermil l is a leader in thebusiness of fine and printing paper,"McQuillen stated.
