Charlemagne, who was King of the Franks from 768 to B11 A . D. is reported to have avoided a war by means of a magic tablecloth. When the Saracen hordes threatened to Invade his kingdom. Charlemagne invited his enemies to a "big two" peace conference. After feasting, he took the table cloth stained with wine and grease Bnd flung It into a roaring fire place. His guests were amused at tho antics of the obviously rich King who could wilfully destroy such a rare and costly cloth. But a few minutes later, their amusement turned to fear when he withdrew the cloth, cleansed of its stains but unharmed by the flames! They fled In fear and ad vised their king to avoid war with a king possessed of magical power* I The tablecloth, of course, had been woven of rare asbestos. Scattered throughout history are alorics of this wonderous ma terial which is a mineral, but with an unusual fibrous structure thal allows it to be handled like wool, cotton or silk, in its native stale, it is chemically called a hydrous magnesium silicate, the formula for which is: H., Mga SL Os. The Romans used it for funeral garments of kings, so that at cre mation, the royal ashes would not be mixed with the ashes of the fire. " Perpeiual" wicks (or lamps to burn before the Greek gods, were made front this amazing material. After traveling through Siberia. Marco Polo wrote of seeing tex tiles that resisted fire. Italy Is called the "cradle of the asbestos industry," having made thread, fabrics and paper early in the 16th century. But, in Quebec in >877, a large vein of asbestos was discovered among serpentine rock. This source supplies about 60 percent of the world's needs, although some mines are being H i l l t i tha S n i im % i h Ii i 1 H t ih t 1 ap> In fvt* lim n *f HI* Tipfci * bflglgiftMtd 1 it* pfkiW law n a titta li d m 1* d i i m m s lM N it a 1 TtU f f g d M i t -- ID . l RM C45000200007272 B E F O R E . . . as it appears when it it mined in terpentine rock deposits, asbestos fibres ore of varying length After a crushin's and screening process, the fibres are separated from the rock by a vacuum method and placed In bans for shipment. Asbestos is the only natural inorganic fibre known to man. D U R I N G . . . Tilo processes the asbestos fibre with other ingredi ents in the manufacturing process. Notice the many laminations. At this point, the panel is compacted (or pressed together like plywood) under many tons of pressure and placed in slow-curing ovens. AFTER.. . Following the oven- irlng process, the pBnets are trim med to size by our precision broach cutter, and bii exterior protective and decorative cover ing is applied. Thus after a long Journey, the indestructible asbes tos fibre reposes forever on tho homes where it is applied, under the Tilo trado name -- COLORSTONE. , t RMC45000200007273 I worked in this country, Africa, Russia, and Italy. Time, heat, pressure, in some mysterious process deep within the earth, transformed massive serpentine rock formations to fibrous asbestos. The width of the vein, from razor edge to several inches, determines the length of the fibre. Although most 0/ the material is gleaned from shaft type mining, some of It Js mined from Quarries and underground tunnels. Over eighteen years ago, Tilo began using asbestos in the man ufacture of some of our sidewall products. Approximately ISO rail road can of asbestos, or about three per week, are brought irtto our Stratford plant from the mincF in Quebec. The long asbestos fibre is more costly than the short variety, and Tilo, naturally, uses more of the former than any other concern in the sidewall industry. Wc have been in the sidewall business many more yean than eighteen, however, but ever since )M ? our mechanics have served millions of homes with our unique, lami nated siding panels which arc strengthened and made fire-resis tant by the asbestos fibres. There is no longer any magic about asbestos. Its qualities are known to all, and man has har nessed these qualities in the serv ice of man. ITCMAIMINQ It 1 ifc * y i A * a rik.
