In August 1930, Asbestos, the industry's trade journal, reported that the Linear Packing & Rubber Company had moved its factory and general offices from Marshall and Berks Streets, Philadelphia, to a new plant at State Road and Levick Street in Tacony, Philadelphia, after "improvements to the extent of $100,000."1 The journal wrote that "The plant is laid out for the specific purpose of producing packing," naming piston and sheet packings, pump valves and moulded goods.1
