Hi everyone. I'm Asbestos Attorney Justinian Lane, and I'm excited to share an intriguing artifact from the automobile industry of the 1920s. As a car enthusiast and asbestos attorney, I present to you a fascinating piece of history: asbestos brake pads and the famous (infamous?) Johns Manville brake pad sales book.
In the early days of automobiles, safety was a major concern, especially with brake technology. Asbestos became a crucial material in manufacturing effective brake pads, and Johns Manville emerged as a key player in this industry. Discover how traveling salespeople promoted these asbestos brake pads to auto shops and gas stations across the country.
This artifact, dating back to 1927, provides a unique glimpse into the automotive world of that era. Did you know there were more cars than wired homes in 1927? With 23 million cars registered and only 17 million electrically wired homes, it's a stark contrast. Plus, in 1926, there were three cars for every bathtub in America!
Join me in exploring these fascinating statistics and the historical significance of asbestos in automotive safety.
