From October 1925, Allbestos Corporation made its brake lining at 21st Street and Godfrey Avenue in the Germantown section of Philadelphia, according to John A. Bettes, Jr.'s history of the company, published in Asbestos, the industry's trade journal, in 1972.1 The company's best-known product was Allbestos woven brake lining, made in sizes from automotive linings "up to 12" x 1 1/4" for oil-well drilling rigs."1 Bettes dates the start of the lining's production to May 1921 and writes that the business was liquidated in November 1939.1
