The Raybestos Division of Raybestos-Manhattan, Inc. ran a factory at Stratford, Connecticut; in April 1939, Asbestos, the industry's trade journal, reported that the division's Bridgeport plant "has been combined with the Stratford, Conn., factory."3 In December 1941 the journal wrote that the division had completed "an addition to its present plant" at Stratford "for the manufacture of friction materials."1
A March 1947 item in Asbestos reported that "over 1700 people visited the plant of the Raybestos Division, in Stratford, Connecticut, during the first Raybestos Visitors' Day in January."2
