Sumner Simpson to A. S. Rossiter Inviting Asbestos Magazine to See Raybestos-Manhattan's Dust Control (1938)

A one-page letter of October 10, 1938, from Sumner Simpson, president of Raybestos-Manhattan, to Miss A. S. Rossiter, editor of Asbestos magazine, thanking her for the clipping from the September 24 India-Rubber Journal on industrial respirators, which he would pass along "to our interested parties." He suggested that she and C. J. Stover, the publisher, visit "our Charleston or Manheim plants, and see what we have done in the Dust Room and Card Room, as well as other parts of the shop," adding: "Am quite certain you, and especially Mr. Stover, will be very, very much surprised."

What it shows

Simpson wanted the editors of the industry's trade magazine to see the dust control work in Raybestos-Manhattan's textile plants at North Charleston, South Carolina, and Manheim, Pennsylvania. A few months later he wrote to Miss Rossiter again about Dr. Gardner's preliminary findings and dust control (March 1939).
