In December 1920, Asbestos, the industry's trade journal, recalled its announcement of "a new automobile brake lining plant at East Broughton, Canada, immediately adjacent to producing Asbestos Mines."2 In July 1921 the journal reported that The Asbestonos Company of East Broughton had "purchased the Brake Lining manufacturing plant in that town from Joseph Poulin, its former owner," and that Poulin was president and general manager of the new company.1
