C. J. Stover of Asbestos Magazine to Sumner Simpson on the Bureau of Mines Review of Dust Literature (1935)

A one-page letter of December 31, 1935, from C. J. Stover, publisher of Asbestos Magazine in Philadelphia, to Sumner Simpson, president of Raybestos-Manhattan. Stover wrote that the U.S. Bureau of Mines had "recently issued a very interesting pamphlet," "Review of Literature on Effects of Breathing Dust with Special Reference to Silicosis," by D. Harrington and Sara J. Davenport, and that copies could be had by writing to the Bureau's Section of Publications for Information Circular 6857.

What it shows

The trade magazine's publisher passed along government literature on dust disease to the industry's leading executives. Simpson ordered the circular a week later and on January 24 urged A. F. Townsend, Raybestos-Manhattan's chairman, to get it too.
