A promotional booklet by the Quebec Asbestos Information Service in Montreal, for eight Quebec asbestos producers including Asbestos Corporation, Canadian Johns-Manville, Flintkote and Bell. It was issued with a sample of chrysotile attached. It covers asbestos lore, the geology of chrysotile, Quebec production and exports (1956 figures), miners' wages, the Quebec Standard grading and some 3,000 uses. It claims 'the health of asbestos workers is good' and calls asbestosis 'an uncommon ailment' that 'used to occur infrequently,' now controlled by dust-control engineering.
