A two-page issue of Asbestos News (Vol. 4, No. 11, November 1969), the customer newsletter of the North American Asbestos Corporation of Chicago, which described itself as "a member of the Cape Asbestos group of companies" and "the leading marketer of amosite and crocidolite fibers in North America." Its lead item urged asbestos-cement makers to add amosite to their mixes because good chrysotile was "in relatively tight supply," praising amosite's drainage, dispersion and strength in flat and corrugated sheet and pressure pipe, with two charts. Short items follow on southern African mining, a chrysotile find in southern Mexico, and a fire-retardant rayon for asbestos textiles.

What it shows
The newsletter is sales literature: it promotes amosite as "a beneficial additive to all Chrysotiles in asbestos-cement" and says nothing about health. It shows the amosite trade pressing for wider use of the fiber in building products in late 1969. North American Asbestos was owned by Cape Asbestos, which mined amosite and crocidolite in South Africa.
