  • The Hardin Simmons is kraft paper, bleached sulfate pulp where the Hardin Simmons is Bleached kraft paper with water-resistant coating, which is most of the difference in these two grades.
  • The gap is 45 points, wide enough that this is not a close call, and the Hardin Simmons is the one to buy.
  • We are less certain about the Hardin Simmons grade, at 45% confidence against 72%, because it discloses less.
