The Superbestos Corporation plant at Watseka, Illinois

The Superbestos Corporation, with headquarters in Chicago, built its plant at Watseka, Illinois, "a short distance from Chicago."1,2 In September 1932, Asbestos, the industry's trade journal, reported that clutch facings, brake blocks and allied materials were to be produced there, that machinery was being installed in the new factory buildings, and that "production will commence about September 15th."2 A month later the same journal described the plant as a new brick building of "approximately 30,000 square feet of space all on one floor," equipped for "moulded brake lining, moulded clutch facings, and moulded brake blocks," and wrote that it "will be on a volume production basis on or about October 15th."1
