Provenance |
In 1882, Anthony Zellerbach and his sons founded the Zellerbach Paper Company in San Francisco. The company invented folded paper towels, molded pulp egg cartons, and the window envelope. In 1928, the Zellerbach Paper Company merged with the Crown Willamette Paper Company to form publicly-traded Crown Zellerbach Corp. In 1947 it started producing coated paper for Time Life Magazine. In 1952, it was the second largest landholder in the American West after Weyerhaeuser. In the 1960s and 1970s, the corporation diversified and expanded its reach internationally. In 1985, Sir James Goldsmith gained control of the company and sold Crown Zellerbach with the majority of the pulp and paper business to the James River Corporation. |
