A Johns-Manville booklet for new factory workers, "Things You Need to Know About Your Job," with a welcome letter from the plant manager and a message from Lewis H. Brown, J-M's president. It covers the company's history since 1858, pay, hours, absences, safety, health and benefits, and ends with a map of J-M's factories, mines and sales offices. Under "Respirators" it says only that they "are supplied for all operations where needed" at no cost, "and you are expected to use them when specified"; the booklet does not say that asbestos dust is a health hazard.
