The Commerce Department, working with the Bureau of Mines, issued this October 1926 trade bulletin on where asbestos came from and how it was traded. It gives world production and U.S. import and export figures, noting that the United States consumed most of the world's output while mining very little. A section on Quebec describes mining, milling and the fiber grades sold for textiles, brake linings, shingles, paper, pipe covering, cement and insulation.
