Building on Tradition, a Johns Manville booklet marking the company's 150 years, with a letter from President and CEO Todd Raba. It traces the company from Henry Ward Johns's 1858 roofing to fiber glass and its 2001 purchase by Berkshire Hathaway. A chapter, "The Asbestos Legacy," covers products such as Transite and Marinite, the 1982 Chapter 11 filing and the Manville Personal Injury Settlement Trust. It says JM left the asbestos business by the end of 1985. It also describes the 1939 World's Fair "Home of Asbestos" exhibit.
