1927 Ad Asbestos Shingles Johns Manville Roof Roofing - ORIGINAL THB1
The use of asbestos in the United States began around 1858, when it was mined for insulation by the Johns Company. Asbestos was used in the late 19th century for its strength, resistance to fire, heat, electrical and chemical dangers, as well as its sound absorption. It is known to cause serious health issues, including malignant lung cancer, Mesothelioma and asbestosis, all leading to death.
