                            THILMANY PAPERS

 Mr. KOHL. Mr. President, I want to take a quick moment to 
congratulate Thilmany Papers of Kaukauna, WI, on their 125th year 
anniversary. From humble beginnings with 18 employees, it has grown to 
a family of 1,000 employees today. This trusted paper manufacturer, 
founded on the banks of the Fox River 125 years ago, continues to 
provide specialty papers with a customer service record unmatched in 
eastern Wisconsin.

  One of the names most closely associated with the progress of 
Kaukauna is Oscar Thilmany. A German immigrant who arrived in the 
United States in 1866, he tried his hand at a variety of occupations, 
going from a journalist for a New York newspaper to a company involved 
in wood preserving.
  In Thilmany Pulp and Paper Company, Mr. Thilmany found his calling. 
With that calling came one of the most successful paper companies in 
all of Wisconsin today. I congratulate Thilmany Papers on their 125th 
anniversary and wish them much success in the years ahead.
