Nelson Valve Company / Dr. R. V. Mattison plant at Wyndmoor, Pennsylvania

In December 1925, Asbestos, the industry's trade journal, reported that the plant of the Nelson Valve Company at Wyndmoor, Pennsylvania, "covering over ten acres of ground, and with about 100,000 square feet of concrete floor space," had recently been bought by Doctor R. V. Mattison, "personally."¹ The journal wrote that Mattison expected to move there, from his Ambler plants a fifteen-minute drive away, "the entire Asbestos Brake Lining Department of the Keasbey & Mattison Company."¹ That move was a plan; the source does not say whether it happened.¹
