Guildfords Limited plant at Dartmouth, Nova Scotia

Guildfords Limited worked asbestos in Dartmouth, Nova Scotia, but did not make the asbestos sheets itself: in 1968, Asbestos, the industry's trade journal, reported that the company "buys asbestos in sheets, from Atlas Asbestos Company Limited, Montreal, and fabricates them into various building and insulation materials."¹ Its premises in the Commodore Estates industrial park, the journal said, would be "enlarged from 36,000 square feet to 48,000, at a cost, including equipment, of close to $250,000," with much of the new space "used for the manufacture of asbestos panels."¹
