For Immediate Release:
ST. JOE PAPER MILL TO CURTAIL OPERATIONS
(CHICAGO, March 5, 1997) -- Florida Coast Paper Company L.L.C.
today announced that on April 1, 1997, the company will curtail
production at its Port St. Joe paper mill for an indefinite
period until market conditions warrant a resumption of
containerboard production. Harold Wright, chairman of Florida
Coast, stated that, "During this period, Stone Container
Corporation and Four-M Corporation, the joint venture partners
in Florida Coast, have assured the company that they will continue
to honor their respective obligations to Florida Coast.
During this curtailment, Florida Coast will continue to maintain
its assets and service its indebtedness, and as a result the
bondholders will not be adversely affected."
