The Niagara Falls plant began as the plant of the Niagara Felt & Paper Company, and the two reports of its sale to the American Covering Manufacturing Company of Jersey City differ on the date.1,2 In March 1924, Asbestos, the industry's trade journal, wrote that American Covering had "recently purchased the plant" and, "as of January 1st, 1924, began the manufacture of Asbestos Paper."1 In September 1925 the same journal said the company, organized in 1922 to make Air Cell Covering, had "in January 1923 purchased the plant," which "it converted into a plant for the manufacturing of Asbestos Paper as well as other papers used in the Industry."2
