Company's Source of Asbestos
As Keasbey .& Mattison Co. controls its source of crude asbestos, owning the Bell Asbestos Mines at Thetford Mines, P; Q., Canada, perhaps the world's most productive mines of high-grade Chrysotile Asbestos, this company is assured of a constant supply of long-fibred asbestos so necessary in making a thoroughly efficient insulation,
K & M 85 Per Cent Magnesia "Featherweight" Sectional Coverings and Blocks
Keasbey. & Mattison Co. were the originators of 85 Per Cent Magnesia Covering, so called because it is composed of about 85 per cent basic carbonate of magnesia and 15 per. cent of asbestos fibre. The magnesia' is bound together with the long-fibred asbestos, giving it the necessary structural strength. K & M 85 Per Cent Magnesia "Featherweight" is very light in weight, fireproof and extremely durable. It wilT.'not injure piping arid. has a very high insulation^value. Impartial expert engineering tests showing its superiority will gladly be sent upon request.
K & M 85 Per Cent Magnesia "Feather weight" Sectional Coverings are canvasjacketed and 36 in..long per section. They are made..in all standard and double standard thicknesses, 2-in. thickness, and 3rin. broken joint construction, and also in combination with Ambler High Tempera ture Insulation.
with inorganic binders found by experi^n to be best fitted for this class of insulation0
These coverings have a high insulating
value and will withstand temperatures im to 1200 deg. fahr. Furnished in same moulded shapes and thicknesses as' 8o Per Cent Magnesia Coverings and Blocks
Ambler Asbestos Cement
Composed of asbestos fibre and inert materials having high insulating value being superior to ordinary asbestos cements and surpassed only by 85 Per Ceht Magnesia Cement.
Ambler Asbestos "Velvet" Cement
A fire-resisting and waterproof cement which gives a hard, smooth and beautiful finish to cement and block work, fittings and large or irregular steam surfaces. Furnished in 100-lb. bags.
Ambler Asbestos Paper, Textiles, Gaskets and Boards
Ambler Asbestos Aircell Coverings-- These are composed of various thicknesses of asbestos corrugated paper, each ply being about }/i in. thick. These thick nesses united form a covering which is light, fireproof and very satisfactory for low domestic heating and piping insula tion. Made in 2, 3 and 4 plies.
Ambler High Temperature Sectional Covering' and Blocks
Recommended for temperatures in ex cess of 700 deg. fahr. These coverings are composed chiefly of asbestos fibre, bonded

Dry-paC Waterproof Filler--Perma nently impervious to water, repells mois ture. Unusually high efficiency and great natural strength. Will not slump down away from pipes. Is non-corrosive.
Engineering Service--Help in planning and supervision. Catalogs and special information on request.
giC'ffih .Base Drain Vitrified tile. Designed to be a base drain foundation for supporting and lining up conduit and drain for carrying away moisture. Slotted sections interlock
with conduit bells to form a strong construction.
Ric-wiL Pipe SupportsPlanned to carry one to five or more pipes and ordinarily spaced 12 ft. apart. Made of rust proof castiron. Interlocked with base drain, imposing no load on conduit itself.
