Chicago is one of four "Factories" named in a March 1920 advertisement for Sall Mountain Co.'s Sal-Mo asbestos products in Asbestos, the industry's trade journal, alongside Porter, Indiana, Scranton, Pennsylvania, and Rockdale, Ohio.1 The same advertisement lists the line as "Asbestos Paper, Millboard, Pipe Covering and Cements," but it does not say which products were made at which factory.1 In later Sall Mountain advertisements the Sal-Mo line also took in corrugated aircell paper, magnesia covering, packings and gaskets, among others; those describe the brand in general, not the Chicago factory.2,3
