The Gilman Paper Company is a paper producer with a plant at the North River near St. Mary's, Georgia. As of 2003 the company was capable of producing 2.6 million pounds of paper per day. The company employed 1,100 workers and 1,500 independent, and had an office in New York City at 111 West 50th Street. The company was started by Howard Gilman, who amassed the Gilman Paper Company Collection of photographic images. After Howard Gilman's death in 1998, the mill was eventually sold to Durango Paper Company, and soon went bankrupt, leaving thousands without jobs. Today, many former employees still have not received their final paychecks, retirement benefits, or separation pay.
