Philip Carey Company Limited / The Philip Carey Mfg. Company plant at Lennoxville, Quebec

Philip Carey's plant at Lennoxville, in the province of Quebec, came into the company's hands in 1935, according to Asbestos, the industry's trade journal: in February 1935 it reported that George D. Crabbs, president of the Philip Carey Manufacturing Company of Cincinnati, "announces the acquisition of a manufacturing plant in Lennoxville, P. Q., Canada," along with the formation of the Philip Carey Company Limited.2 The same item said the new plant was expected to "be put in operation the first of April" on Carey's line of asbestos and asphalt products, and in December 1935 the journal again wrote that the company had "purchased a plant in Lennoxville, P. Q., Canada, for the manufacture of its line of Asbestos and Asphalt products."2,3

A Carey history printed in Asbestos in November 1953 gives a different and earlier date: "In 1913 another Canadian plant was added for the manufacture of coverings, cements and roofing materials at Lennoxville," in a sentence that is garbled in print.4 The two accounts are given here as each source printed them.2,4

In December 1945 the company reported in Asbestos that "The Lennoxville plant is already making roll roofing, asbestos paper, air cell pipe covering, aircell board, expansion joints and asphalt planks."1 It also announced plans for the plant to "be equipped to produce a full line of asphalt products and to increase production of the asbestos insulation line"; that item describes plans, not finished work.1
