Antique Asbestos Marketing Letter - c. 1876

            Early asbestos marketing, "signed" and dated 1876; consists of a folded single-sided business letter discussing information about various asbestos products to a prospective customer, from H.W. Johns who later became the world's largest asbestos manufacturing company ("Johns-Manville").

By 1876 the asbestos industry was very well established and only continued to grow for the next century, eventually peaking in the U.S. during the early 1970's, resulting in a reported 31-million tons+ of raw asbestos imports and millions more tons of domestic raw asbestos production and manufactured asbestos product imports (not to mention millions of tons of installed asbestos-contaminated products such as "Zonolite" vermiculite insulation/aggregate and certain talc-containing materials, etc.)

The vast majority of these toxic products and materials still exist as "legacy" asbestos installed in our buildings, homes, and infrastructure; and all of which still present ongoing health risks to workers, occupants, consumers on a daily basis.

Asbestos inspection/surveys are the primary means to find where asbestos may exist and to help avoid unnecessary exposures to this seemingly ubiquitous carcinogen. Hire a qualified, trained and accredited/licensed asbestos inspector/surveyor to help identify asbestos in your everyday places. Asbestos awareness saves lives.
