MONTGOMERY MAY GET PAPER PLANT


Two sites near Montgomery are being considered for the location of a paper
products plant, according to a member of the Montgomery Industrial Board.

The Rev. Sherman Beird said Inland Container Corp, an Indianapolis, Inc. -
based manufacturer of container board and corrogated containers, is
considering locating a plant at sites which have property adjacent to the
Kansas City Southern Railroad U.S. Highway 71 and the Red River.

According to Joe Areddy, Inland vice president of public affairs, the company
is in the "very, very preliminary stages of looking all over that area (east
Texas and western Louisiana)" for a site.

Plant construction is "four, five or six years" down the road, and what will
be produced there has not been determined yet, Areddy said.

One of the sites considered is partially within the Montgomery town limits and
the other is about three miles south of town, Beird said.
