R. J. Evans plant at Wabash, Indiana

In May 1934, Asbestos, the industry's trade journal, reported that R. J. Evans, president of the Asbestos Manufacturing Company of Huntington, Indiana, had bought "the Wabash Asbestos plant" at a receiver's sale several months before, and that it would start operations that summer and "run as a unit with the Huntington plant."1 By November 1934 the journal reported a later date: Evans was said to have stated that the plant would start "about January 1, 1935," while workmen repaired the building and added new machinery.2 "It is said that about one hundred men will be employed at the plant when it opens," the journal added.2 These were plans; the journal's items do not say when the plant actually began work.2
