A 19-page color sales booklet from Johns-Manville Asbestos Fiber Sales in Denver, form AF-82A dated 2-76, describing chrysotile asbestos as "Indispensable to safety in home and industrial applications." It covers the mineral's properties, world production in 1973, the Jeffrey Mine at Asbestos, Quebec, and its $75 million expansion of 1973, J-M's fiber grades and testing, packaging, and uses from asbestos-cement pipe to brake linings. A closing page, "Chrysotile Asbestos and Health... a Statement of Fact," says that asbestos health risks "are essentially confined to the job setting" and that there was "no evidence" that minute amounts in the community presented "any hazard whatsoever to the general public."

What it shows
The health page tells fiber buyers that asbestos diseases develop "only after the inhalation of substantial amounts of asbestos dust usually for a prolonged period of time," and that good maintenance and dust control were needed to meet the standards "recently announced by OSHA." A later edition of the same booklet is Johns-Manville, Chrysotile Asbestos Fibers: A Natural Product for Modern Needs (1981).
