"The mill expanded between 1911 and 1913. New paper machines and boilers arrived from England. New grinders were installed. A new generator, turbine, and sulfite digester raised the mill's capacity from fifty to sixty-eight tons of newsprint a day. A debenture issue was floated in London. Annual sports days were organized in Grand Falls."
—David Macfarlane, The Danger Tree, 137
