      Doesn’t this company make cardboard boxes? Is this a sign that there’s less stuff being shipped?

      Or are they simply moving the plant somewhere else?

      Or do they just make toilet paper and paper towels?

          Thanks. I should have read the article. My bad. I never knew they made lumber. I thought it was all paper products.

        Nobody knows.

        I’m definitely not going to read the article to find out before commenting on it.
