Raybestos-Manhattan had a plant at Passaic, New Jersey.2 In December 1972, Asbestos, the industry's trade journal, carried the company's word that, "Along with the withdrawal from the rubber business, R/M also announced it will close its plant at Passaic, New Jersey."2 In January 1973 the company added that "The manufacture of friction materials products will be relocated from Passaic to a new facility," and that the phase-out of the product lines "is planned for completion by June 15, 1973."1 It said "About 1,300 employees will be affected" by the closing of the Passaic plant together with the end of rubber operations at its plant in Peterborough, Ontario, a figure for both places, not for Passaic alone.1
