A local family friend who worked within the paper industry many years and had many friends in the industry discovered that our area payed huge amounts of shipping to bring in cardboard boxes.
He discovered that he could by local cardboard ship it across a single street, cut it and sell back to the papermill at a higher price but with nearly zero shipping making a fat profit.
He then could offer his boxes to other local businesses that required them and again come in cheaper with shipping considered.
He became very wealthy sold his share in the business and retired making brown cardboard boxes
