Joseph Carew was one of the first men to engage in papermaking in the Connecticut Valley near Holyoke. In 1830 he had charge of the paper mill in South Hadley Falls, owned by Howard & Lathrop — competitors of the celebrated Ames. In 1848 he organized the Carew manufacturing company and built their mill at South Hadley Falls. He managed their business successfully during the remainder of a long and honorable life. Joseph C. Parsons began the papermaking business in Holyoke with the Parsons Paper... Company in 1850. Mr. Parsons was a prac- tical papermaker, having had experience first with D. & J. Ames and then with the Eagle Paper Company of Suffield, Ct. He was a very capable business manager and built up a profitable trade for his company. He produced the first paper used by the United States government in the making of stamped envelopes. The second papermaking concern in Holyoke was the Holyoke Paper Company, whose mill was built in 1857. Orrick H. Greenleaf, an esteemed citizen of Springfield, was the controlling owner, and the results of his management were always satisfactory to his asso- ciate stockholders.
