However, the only Asbestos references are those mentioned above. This is just a one page summary of their products.
Date: No copyright date, but this was removed from a 1942-1943 bound collection.
Condition: Good. Some wear to page edge. On the reverse side of this, there is a catalog page advertisement for "Crane Co" with a different office address listed than "Crane Packing Company" which leads me to believe these were two different companies. Only the "Crane Packing Company" page mentions asbestos.
