Historical Note
Located on the North Santiam River near Stayton, Oregon, the Paris
Woolen Mills were among the longest-running woolen mill operations in the
state. Although marginally profitable throughout its existence, the mill did
operate successfully at several periods, most notably during World Wars I and
II. Ownership changed frequently, but there was a period of relative stability
under the proprietorship of the Etzel family, from 1947 to 1982. Despite
efforts to rejuvenate the business in the 1980s, the mill closed for good
around 1989.
The Paris Woolen Mills had its origins in a carding operation built in
the late 1860s by pioneer Drury S. Stayton, who founded the town of Stayton in
1872. In 1905 a group of citizens headed by Fred A. Carter and S. Philippi
organized a new enterprise incorporated as the Stayton Woolen Mills Company. A
mill building was completed at the end of that year. The mill continued
operation with varying degrees of success and numerous changes in ownership. In
1913 the name was changed to the Wilbur Woolen Mills Company, the result of a
purchase by J. P. Wilbur and others the previous year. Profits increased in the
late 1910s, in part the result of World War I. New buildings were built after
another change of ownership in 1919, when the name was changed to the Santiam
Woolen Mills. Despite large orders from Montgomery Ward in the early1920s, the
mill declined and was sold to a group of Portland investors in 1926 and was
re-incorporated as the Western Woolen Mills.
In 1933 the mill was purchased by Robert D. Paris, who had been the
superintendent of the Portland Woolen Mills. New equipment was purchased and
the name was changed to the Paris Woolen Mills. The operation continued with
moderate success until 1944, when it was purchased by John W. Powell and his
son John E. Powell, who modernized much of the operation.
The most significant change came in August 1947, when John W. Etzel
(1895-1980) and his family purchased the mill from the Powells. Etzel, who had
worked for the mill as a wool buyer and sorter, was primarily a farmer who had
little experience in wool manufacture. He relied on a series of superintendents
to run the plant, most notably Claude Phillips in the 1950s and early 1960s.
Phillips's wife, Eunice, who had started at the mill in 1937, was the company's
financial officer and became a partner by the 1960s. In the 1960s and 1970s,
the operations were run by John Etzel's son Elmer (b. 1920), who also operated
a cattle ranch in the area. At this time the principal products of the mill's
24 looms were auto robes, pram robes, blankets, and cooler cloth for
racehorses. The plant employed approximately 65 people at the height of its
operation. Among its principal customers was the Jantzen company of Portland,
the Curvon Corporation of New Jersey, and the Horner Woolen Mills. In addition,
the Paris Woolen Mills supplied blankets to a number of government institutions
such as prisons and universities.
John W. Etzel kept the company running despite increasing financial
losses. He personally promoted the company's products, travelling extensively
to maintain close contacts with suppliers and customers. As the mill suffered
from the competition of inexpensive overseas goods, Etzel lobbied government
officials for tariff protection. His vigorous efforts continued until 1967,
when he suffered a stroke and had to reduce his management role.
With the mill's profits declining steadily in the1970s, the Etzel
family sold the company in 1982 to Pettygrove Industries, headed by Don and
Karen Lachman. The new owners hoped to revive the business through high-volume
orders, but their efforts were largely unsuccessful. In 1988, an attempt was
made to sell the operation to Harbin HiTec, a company based in Edmonton,
Alberta, but backed by the Kanghua Chongming Corporation of China. There was no
sale, however, and the mill was closed for good by 1990.
The records primarily document the Paris Woolen Mills operations in
the 1950s, 1960s, and 1970s, the period of John W. Etzel's active involvement.
There are, however, scattered materials from the 1920s, the 1930s, and some
documentation from the 1940s. A number of documentation gaps exist within the
sequence of years, and it is likely that these materials were damaged or
destroyed before accessioning.
Of special note is the series, Correspondence, which reflects John W.
Etzel's day-to-day work in running the company. Much of the material involves
orders from suppliers and customers and difficulties in manufacture and
shipping. Correspondence with the Curvon Corporation, one of the mill's
principal customers, is particularly extensive. A 1970-1971 exchange between
Etzel and Curvon's head, John Banta, is revealing of the declining state of
woolen manufacture in the U.S. Also of note is a letter of June 15, 1973, from
Etzel to Banta regarding the difficulties of the business. A letter of Febuary
25, 1974, from Etzel to U.S. Senator Bob Packwood (filed under "1974—Personal")
complains about U.S. export-import policies. A letter of 1973 from Westech
Engineering concerns the the issue of waste water discharge from the plant.
Other substantial files of correspondence are those for Crompton & Knowles,
Horner Woolen Mills, J.C. Penny, Jantzen, Mongomery Ward, and Sears,
Roebuck.
The extensive series of financial records documents the mill's complex
network of suppliers and customers. Order records and invoices often contain
detailed descriptions of the materials bought and sold. Order records also
include some correspondence.
Of particular note within the Personnel Records is a series of
employment applications revealing personal work histories and origins of the
employees. These records are restricted as noted in the Restrictions on Access
statement.
Production records document day-to-day operations of the plant,
including reports from weave rooms and finishing rooms. Of special interest is
a set of time books recording each worker's productivity. The large selection
of equipment manuals and catalogs was sampled during processing, and only those
directly related to Oregon firms or the operation of the Paris Woolen Mills
were retained, along with a few samples of unusual printing. Also of interest
among the Production Records are the pattern cards, which specified how each
textile was to be woven. A file titled "Historical production information" in
the subseries, General Production Records, provides an overview of the plant's
production from 1955 to 1970.
Included with the production records are a small group of photographs
of the plant interior, taken in the 1980s.
Throughout the collection, most fabric samples attached or enclosed
with paper records were removed for separate storage. In place of the removed
texile, a "Textile Removed" slip has been included, providing the file number
of the textile. These removed textiles are housed in boxes 110-112.
The collection is arranged in the following series
- Series A: Correspondence, 1938-1987
- Series B: Financial Records, ca. 1928-1989
- Series C: Personnel Records (restricted), ca. 1944-1983
- Series D: Legal Records, 1944-1983
- Series E: Production Records, 1911-1988
Personnel records contained in boxes 50, 79, 80, and 81, are
restricted and can only be used under the following condition: individuals who
are represented in the records, or their authorized representatives, may
request copies of their own individual records. Physical access is limited to
Research Library staff only. This restriction expires in 2080.

Research Library.
After the closure of the Paris Woolen Mills in the late 1980s, the
records were transferred to the Mission Mill Museum in Salem, Oregon. The
museum conducted some preliminary processing before donating the records to the
Oregon Historical Society in 1998.
Gift of the Mission Mill Museum, Salem, Oregon, Jan. 20, 1988, Library
Accession 23579.
In the course of processing, approximately 30 cubic feet of materials
were removed from the collection. These included: out-of-scope equipment
manuals; financial records of no evidential, historical, or research value; and
materials of low value with irreversible mold damage.
Fabric samples and other textiles have been removed due to the
possibility of infestation. Although described in the finding aid, these
materials are currently (August 2004) housed under controlled conditions.
Requests for access to these textiles will be reviewed by the library
staff.
Rubber stamps and printing plates have been transferred to the
Artifacts Collection of the Oregon Historical Society.

The following section contains a detailed listing of the materials in
the collection.
Series A
Correspondence
1938-1987
Correpondence is most complete for the period from the early 1950s
to the late 1970s, but there are many gaps, most notably in the late 1950s.
Portions of some years' files are missing—probably due to poor storage
conditions before accessioning.
Files titled "Dunn and Bradstreet" contain detailed financial and
historical information on customers and suppliers.
Also included in the Correspondence are letters formerly filed in
the series "Orders."
The correspondence is arranged by year and thereunder by letter of
the alphabet. There are individual folders for some correspondents or subjects
in certain years, such as the Curvon Corporation. Some years contain files
titled "Government," which include materials related to both state and federal
governments. Folders titled "Oregon" may include Oregon state government
agencies as well as state universities.
Materials for some years include folders titled either "Personnel"
or "Personal." Often these are materials that may have been of particular
interest to John W. Etzel, the company's president. In some years these
materials were labeled "Paris" or "Paris personal."

Series B
Financial Records
circa 1928-1989
circa 1940-1985
Although the Financial Records are voluminous and sometimes
duplicative, they contain a wealth of information regarding the specifics of
purchases and sales. Some correspondence is included in the subseries Orders.
Wool Records, filed within the subseries Invoices, provide information on
individual wool suppliers throughout Oregon and elsewhere.
The Financial Records are divided into the following subseries:
Orders, Invoices, Bills Paid, Ledgers, and General Records. Invoices and Bills
Paid contain similar types of records, and it is possible that both of these
subseries served the same function in different years.

Textile samples
Throughout the collection, most fabric samples attached or
enclosed with paper records were removed for separate storage. In place of the
removed texile, a "Textile Removed" slip has been included, providing the file
number of the textile. These removed textiles are housed in boxes 110-112.
Fabric samples and other textiles have been removed from the
paper records due to the possibility of infestation. Although described in the
finding aid, these materials are currently (August 2004) housed under
controlled conditions. Requests for access to these textiles will be reviewed
by the library staff.
