MUSEUM OF MENSTRUATION AND WOMEN'S HEALTH
Four Men and a Machine:
Commemorating the Seventy-fifth
Anniversary of Kimberly-Clark Corporation
(1947)
Company-produced history of Kimberly-Clark, a
paper-making company
in Wisconsin, which invented and makes Kotex
Kotex and
anti-aircraft guns? Kimberly-Clark
made both?
Yup.
I didn't know it either until I read this
company history the corporation produced.
But I'm sure you're more interested in
learning how it developed Kotex and Kleenex
and many other products starting with K. Is that K from Mr.
Kimberly's name (as well from the same sound from Mr. Clark's)?
Read on!
And see excerpts from the K-C employees
publication Cooperation
from the early 1930s.
I thank the former
college teacher who has donated so much to
this museum (example) for this book!

Below: Cover,
title page, & foreword. The hard cover measures
7 3/4 x 10" (19.5 x 25.4 cm).
The worn image
interrupting the horizontal lines at top is
that of the four men of the title (I think).

Below:
Reduced version of the title page. The
date and publisher are missing in the book.
I surmised the date (1947) from the second paragraph of the
foreword, bottom of this Web page.
I eliminated the wide
margins on every page to reduce
file size.
