A one-page letter of February 13, 1956, from R. E. Cryor, president of North American Asbestos Corporation of Chicago (the U.S. subsidiary of the Cape Asbestos Company of London), to R. H. Horst of the purchasing department of Owens-Illinois in Toledo. Cryor acknowledged an order for 25 tons of SW grade amosite, 10 tons shipped from Jersey City and 15 to come from Africa, and explained a price rise to $145 a ton. He wrote that "SW grade is becoming increasingly difficult to obtain" and asked to be told of Owens-Illinois's needs well in advance.
