Johns-Manville Pamphlet on Asbestos and the J-M Research Laboratories, Back Page (c. 1940)

The closing page of an undated J-M pamphlet, saying that asbestos was known to the ancients as a "magic fabric" but that its many uses had been developed by "scientists at work in research laboratories during the past twenty-five years," and that at the Johns-Manville Research Laboratories new uses for the "magic" mineral were "the object of their constant search." It lists J-M's executive offices at 22 East 40th Street, New York, its branch offices, and Canadian Johns-Manville's mines and factory at Asbestos, Quebec.
