Union Asbestos & Rubber Company, known as UNARCO, ran a plant at Blue Island, Illinois: the company's own 1943 advertising listed its "Plants: Cicero, Ill., Blue Island, Ill., Paterson, N. J."1 In December 1950, Asbestos, the industry's trade journal, again named Blue Island among UNARCO's plants, alongside Cicero and Earlville, Illinois; Paterson, New Jersey; McGregor, Texas; and Marshville, North Carolina.2
