Kimberly-Clark Mill in Beech Island, SC, Celebrates 50 years

The Augusta Chronicle reports that Kimbery Clarks’s Beech Island, SC, mill is celebrating its 50th anniversary. In 1968, gas was 34 cents a gallon, The Beatles’ "Hey Jude" was the year’s top single and Kimberly-Clark Corp. launched a new disposable diaper called "Kimbies."

The company changed the name to "Huggies" 10 years later, but the mill it built in Beech Island, SC, to produce the product only got bigger.

And bigger.

 

And bigger.
