Oliver Bowles's survey of the asbestos industry as it stood in the mid-1930s. It covers the varieties of asbestos and their properties, the history of the trade, how the deposits formed, production and consumption, the US chrysotile and amphibole deposits state by state, mining and milling methods in the United States, Canada, Africa, Russia, Cyprus and elsewhere, marketing and prices, the product plants in more than a dozen countries, and how asbestos fabrics, shingles, paper, packings, magnesia insulation and asbestos-cement were made.
