Paul,
Western Tablet is still in St. Joseph and still in operation; just a few blocks 
south of the park where a CB&Q 4-8-4 is on display and being restored. 

My wife's cousin was employed at Western until his retirement.

When you went to grade school, if you had a "Big Chief" writing table, it came 
from Western Tablet. They still manufacture a variety of school supplies and 
paper items. 

See you in St. Louis,
