A two-page notice to the stockholders of Johns-Manville Corporation dated March 7, with the Board of Directors' memorial resolution for Lewis H. Brown, J-M's president and chief executive. The board recorded "with sorrow" his death in late February 1951. It recalled that he came to J-M in 1927, became president two years later at the age of 35, and guided the company "through the most important years of growth and achievement" in its history. The first page, the letter to stockholders, is too dark to read beyond its opening lines.
