The Canadian Raybestos Company, Limited plant at Peterborough, Ontario

In January 1921, Asbestos, the industry's trade journal, corrected its own earlier report of the first textile plant in Canada: the Raybestos Company, it wrote, had "been operating a weaving plant at Peterborough, Ont., for some little time."¹ The plant was run by The Canadian Raybestos Company, Limited, and made "the well known Raybestos Brake Lining."¹
