By John A. Better Jr. 35 added the Syfy Syfy cu mm ray ad wet The history of the General Asbestos & Rubber Company is prime example of my premise that the steam engine is the tather of the asbestos textile industryCity In the year 1895 there was in the City of Charleston North Carolina a busy industry known as the Charleston Iron Works This company manufactured pumps and steam engines for the phosphate industry in South Carolina The predecessor company of General Asbestos & Rubber Company was the Charleston Metallic Packing Company The founders were Samuel Hughes and George W. Williams The State Charter issued July 18 1895. described the firm as a manufacturer of steam hydraulic and other packings used in the mechanical arts Its original and primary account was the Charlestown Iron Works The original factory was located on Cumberland Street near Meeting Street in downtown Charleston The business grew steadily and it was recapitalized several times Four additional downtown locations were used By 1909 the man- agement decided to produce its own asbestos yarn and cloth and Building # at Columbus and East Bay Streets was rented from the American Tobacco Company to house the original cards spinning frames twisters and looms On February 1. 1910 the Secretary of State authorized the changing of the name of the firm to General Asbestos & Rubber Company The new Charter was issued to sell Jenkins Sr. M. B. Barkley IP IP Thomas and Taylor being a majority of the Board of Directors <BisW. F By 1914 the business had outgrown the five downtown locations and Lockwood Green was commissioned to bruld a new plant on the present site at North Charleston adjacent to the Charleston Naval Shipyard On May 1 1916. Samuel Hughes II son at the original founder joined the company as an engineer He was largely responsible for the continuing development or the Garco line
