Asbestos Textile Company, Inc. / The Asbestos Textile Company of Massachusetts plant at North Brookfield, Massachusetts

In April 1920, Asbestos, the industry's trade journal, reported that the Asbestos Textile Company had grown so quickly that "in 1919, only four years after its organization," it bought "a plant at North Brookfield, Mass.," with about four times the capacity of its plant at Reynoldsville; the North Brookfield plant was "not yet in running order."² Looking back in December 1970 at a 1920 item, the same journal wrote that the business of The Asbestos Textile Company of Massachusetts was running at about $1.5 million a year and that "profits from operations of its asbestos textile mills at North Brookfield, Massachusetts, were most satisfactory."¹
