Johns-Manville Marketing Communication Newsletters (1968)

Eighteen pages of "Marketing Communication," an internal Johns-Manville newsletter for its sales and marketing staff, from the first issue of March 27, 1968, through the fall of that year. It carries sales news from J-M's divisions, product promotions and training notes, including Transite asbestos-cement pipe, Thermobestos insulation, Celite filter aids and asbestos-asphalt paving, which it says was laid on the main runway at Toledo Express Airport and on New York City bridges and tunnels after a nine-year push "to get asbestos fibre on the road." One issue reports that Owens-Corning would soon make a product like Thermobestos under license from J-M, whose patent expired in 1972.
