Keasbey & Mattison booklet, copyright 1940, retelling 15 'legends' of asbestos from a 438 B.C. lamp wick for Pallas Athena to Pliny, Charlemagne's tablecloth, Marco Polo, Benjamin Franklin's purse and an 1810 Manhattan find. Many first ran as K&M advertisements in Time in 1939. Each illustrated legend ends with a plug for modern asbestos. The last page lists K&M's asbestos and magnesia insulations, packings, textiles, paper, sprayed 'Limpet' asbestos, asbestos-cement pipe and asbestos-cement shingles and wallboards.
