Johns-Manville Progress Report: 1929, 1944

A Johns-Manville Corporation history issued in March 1944, recording progress from 1929, when Lewis H. Brown became president, to early 1944. It lists directors and managers, gives a year-by-year account of sales, earnings, plants, products and labor, and closes with financial tables for 1929-43 and a Quarter Century Club roster. Asbestos runs throughout: the mine at Asbestos, Quebec, which it calls the largest in the world; asbestos shingles; fibre sales; Brown's chairmanship of the asbestos industry code authority; and $135,000 of dust elimination equipment for the Asbestos mills.
