Johns-Manville plant at Denison, Texas

In April 1957, a Johns-Manville item in Asbestos, the industry's trade journal, announced a manager for "the new Johns-Manville Transite asbestos-cement pipe plant now under construction at Denison, Texas."³ In September 1958 the company reported that "on June 20, 1958 Johns-Manville opened the first continuous process asbestos-cement pipe plant in the United States at Denison, Texas."²

In 1990, the fund that answered lawsuits for Manville Corporation gave the plant's address as Highway 75, Denison, Texas, and dated it "1957 to 1982" in its sworn answers.¹ The same answers listed its product as "Transite Pipe."¹ They also name the doctors who served the Denison plant: Doctor W. H. Brown, "1958 to 1974," and a Doctor Bedingfield of Savannah, Georgia, "1956 to at least 1975."¹
