Was it New England Paper Tube Company (see: http://www.google.com/search?source...1.0.fcl7BkTlcmQ ), by any chance? (Their name was in my mind when I woke up today.) I helped Dr. Edward Jones (being deaf, he couldn't use a telephone) order a batch of various-size motor tubes from them, for his Spadroon jet motors (see: http://www.oldrocketforum.com/showt...d+Rapier+motors ). They were in the process of closing down at the time (Chinese competition was killing them), but Googling their name just now, I was happily surprised to discover that they were saved by explosives, for which they now make the tubes--an article whose link is in the first URL above covers it. If memory serves, they also make spiral-wound "body tube-type" paper tubes.
