In July 1967, Asbestos, the industry's trade journal, reported that Atlas Asbestos Company, "a division of Bell Asbestos Mines Ltd." (itself wholly owned by Turner & Newall Limited), "manufactures asbestos-cement products at 5600 Hochelaga Street, Montreal."1 In January 1979 the same journal called Atlas "the only producer of asbestos-cement products in the Province of Quebec," about 35% of Canada's total production, and reported that "its pipe manufacturing plant at Montreal operates at 90% of capacity" while the construction materials section ran "at barely 50% of potential."2
