found: Funding Universe WWW, Jan. 4, 2011(Keyes Fibre Company: Keyes (sounds like "eyes") was a family-run company from 1903 to 1927. As the company prepared for its centenary, its parent was Van Leer Holding, Inc. The origins of the Keyes Fibre Company date back to the mid-nineteenth century, when inventor Martin Keyes was born in Lempster, N.H. He started work at his father's saw and grist mill at a young age. Keyes's entire career would involve the paper business, especially "papier-mache" (which in French means "chewed paper"); Keyes convinced a friend who owned an iron works to build a prototype of his invention in 1902, and rented space in a pulp mill in Shawmut, Maine for his first test run. His original plate machine was displayed for many years at Keyes Fibre's headquarters. Despite difficulties in finding a supplier who could sell him wood pulp of just the right consistency, Keyes was able to incorporate the Keyes Fibre Company in Shawmut, Maine to produce paper pie plates in 1903; sold to Van Leer Holding in the 1980s [np publs. in LC database)
