E. C. Lindstrom on Caution Labels for High Temperature Insulations (1964)

A two-page Johns-Manville memo of September 2, 1964, from E. C. Lindstrom at division headquarters to S. Lane at the Waukegan plant and to the Pittsburg plant and the Jeffrey Mine, headed "Caution Labels, High Temperature Insulations." Lindstrom wrote that the Industrial Insulations Division Merchandising Department "has decided that a precautionary label will be placed on all products containing Asbestos in the High Temperature line," and listed the cements, 85% magnesia and Superex products to be labeled at each plant. The plants were to put a label on the back of each carton or bag, and once the placement was approved by Mr. Pocius, all outgoing shipments would carry it.
