Between 1914 and the late 1960s, the Champion Fibre Company published an internal newsletter, called The Log, to share news about the Canton mill, the community, and its employees. After 1940, news from the entire “Champion Family,” which included mills in Hamilton, Ohio; Houston, Texas and Sandersville, Georgia, was featured in each issue.

Thus, it . eem , for our common goo,cl, coo pera­tion i e ·· en tia l. In the development of our great busine s system, the production of es ·en tial )!OOds required by present-day civilization, and the accumulation of wealth, there are [our fundamental cogs: capital, labor, ra·w material, and brain - or intelligent management, which must be coordinated in order to accomplish the best r esults. Capital e. tablishes manufacturing and business plants, installs equipment and provides employment for labor. Labor, both common and skilled, operates machines and performs such chores as are necessary to convert raw materials in to a finished product. Raw material and brains - good management by leaders that "know how" -complete the essentials. Thus production ha become one vast cooperat1ve program. Labor and materials, without capital and brains­good management- is no longer sufficient to supply the needs o f our American way of life. However, with good leaders at th h elm- proper coordination of the four things mentione l above- most any busines is preuy sure to succeed. \'Vithout capital and good management, no business will be a real success.
