C. H. Jensen Wire to E. C. Lindstrom on Shipping Superex to Canada (1965)

A J-M private wire of February 16, 1965, from C. H. Jensen at the Waukegan plant to E. C. Lindstrom at division headquarters. Referring to his wire of February 8, Jensen said he "must have answer to question today" whether Waukegan was to ship Superex to Canada with caution labels or remove them "as Manville is," following W. E. Hodgson's latest letter to A. Pocius. A short reply line at the foot is only partly legible.

What it shows

The wire shows that by mid-February the Manville plant was already taking the caution off Superex going to Canada, as Hodgson had asked in his letter of February 1. The instruction to sand off the carton label that the chronology's description quotes is not in this file.

In Johns-Manville's chronology

Johns-Manville's own chronology of what the company knew describes this document as follows:

On 2/16/65, E.C. Lindstrom recommends to C.H. Jensen to follow what the Manville Plant is doing to shipments of Superex to Canada, "namely sand off the carton label. Manville uses a small power sander and evidently expense is very low."

Editor's note: J-M's description has Lindstrom recommending that Jensen "sand off the carton label" as the Manville plant did. That text is not in this file, which holds Jensen's wire to Lindstrom asking the question and a partly legible one-line reply.
