Crane Consolidates Operations


The western Massachusetts company that has provided the paper used to make U.S. currency since 1879 has announced plans to lay off 55 workers.
Dalton-based Crane & Co. says the job eliminations announced Wednesday are part of a consolidation plan to rejuvenate the 211-year-old paper company's stationery business.
Crane plans to relocate its two stationery operations in Pittsfield and one in Dalton to its facility in North Adams.
