Durwyllan Company plant at Paterson, New Jersey

In August 1926 Asbestos, the industry's trade journal, reported that the Durwyllan Company of Paterson, N.J., had bought "several acres of ground at 37 Kentucky avenue" the previous fall and built "a modern daylight factory of brick construction" there.¹ The company's former factory was at East 5th and Rye Streets in Paterson; the move was still under way, and the journal expected it to be "well into the fall before production will be at a fair schedule."¹ Once the new plant was in full operation, the company expected "to be able to produce heavy webbings and asbestos brake lining at a rate never before experienced."¹
