All enclosed. Permanente Cement mentioned in news items. Pit & Quarry July 1948-June 1950 One article on discussing workman's compensation and mentioning asbestosis. Enclosed. Permanente Cement mentioned in a news item in this issue. Further possible research: SF Public Library has Rock Products from 1924 to 1963. It may have to be ordered from storage. This journal mentioned asbestos disease in a 1932 article. San Jose State University has most of the volumes o f Pit & Quarry from 1940-1947. From looking at this journal in 1938 and the late 1940s, f think there is a good chance other helpful articles would show up during the 1940s.
