Traylor Truck Corporation and later owners plant at Cornwells, Pennsylvania

In July 1927, Asbestos, the industry's trade journal, reported that Doctor Richard V. Mattison, president of the Keasbey & Mattison Company of Ambler, Pennsylvania, had bought the plant of the Traylor Truck Corporation at "Cornwalls on the Delaware River a few miles above Philadelphia."¹ After extensive remodeling it was to be a factory for the Newtile Corporation of Ambler, one of the group of asbestos companies Mattison headed.¹ The same item described "Newtile" as a sheet tiling made in panels "48 in. x 48 in. and 48 in. x 96 in.," with a glazed, porcelain-like finish "on a base of asbestos and Portland cement."¹
