It was in 1987 that Mr. Herbert Frond Started making brake linings for horse-drawn vehicles but with the development of the motor car and the ronarquent heavy demand for efficient braking material, it became mecessary to obtain larger promines and employ maze modern methods of manufactors,
In 1903 Mr. Vrind therefore acquired the Bovetelen Mills at Chapel-en-le-Felth and five years later the business was Dosted as a public limited company kriowa na The Hertbert Froad Company Limited,

But this was only one use of what in World War II became one of the most Important of the raw materials which apelt Victory In the long run.
These thoughts are engender- ed by the receipt of a copy of "1939-45," the story of Wig- gina Teape & Alex Pirlo (Ex- port) Ltd. Britain's premier papermakora, during the lust war. This company, with a long tradition in paperihaking and the manufacturing capacity of 18 mills, was in a unique position to meet practically any demand made on it-from water-resistant naval charts to turret tops for Churchill tanks.
In addition to the papers al- ways supplied to the Govern ment departments, some indica- tion of the wide variety of pa- pers supplied to industry the fighting services may be gain from the following summary toking the entira production of British paper mills as a whole, the percentage supplied by Wiggins Teape of certain vital papers was:—
