A wartime magazine advertisement from Asbestos Limited Inc. of New York showing camel trains carrying bales of blue asbestos across the Australian desert. The copy says Australia sends America high-grade blue asbestos, "more valuable to us than gold in our production of war materials," hauled 200 miles by camel to the sea and shipped 12,000 miles. The company says it has spent 25 years importing raw asbestos from around the world and processing it at its works in Millington, New Jersey, and lists fibre from Arizona, Australia, Bolivia, Canada, China, Cyprus, India, Rhodesia, Russia and South Africa.
