In September 1947, Asbestos, the industry's trade journal, reported that the United States Rubber Company had acquired the Seaboard-Stevens plants in Burlington, North Carolina, that year.1 The journal said the purchase was meant "to provide additional facilities for the production of several new products, including glass-asbestos decorative fabrics."1
