Asbestone Corporation / National Gypsum Company plant at St. Louis, Missouri

In St. Louis, Missouri, Asbestone Corporation of New Orleans built what a 1976 profile in Asbestos, the industry's trade journal, called "its a/c products plant" during the years 1950 to 1953, when the man profiled was the firm's advertising manager.¹ The same profile placed National Gypsum's purchase of Asbestone in 1953: "In 1954, one year after National Gypsum acquired Asbestone."¹
