Horace Moses, opened the Mittineague paper mill in West Springfield, MA in 1892. Soon after opening the first mill, Mr. Moses visited the Valley of Strathmore in Scotland. The thistle was in full bloom and the beauty of the site impressed Horace Moses so much that in 1899 the Strathmore brand name was born. Very Good.
