J-Ulford. Also, we are'far enough along with asbestos-free products at Acme that we should at least delay labeling there. We are probably a year or more away from eliminating asbestos at Akron,-Marietta, and Chicago and should begin labeling all bag goods- containing asbestos at these locations, l/a prefer not to' purchase bags with this label that, will confuse our orders (three plants gotting labeled bags, one not). Also, we might eventually get stuck with a large inventory of bags with the label. Instead, we are suggesting a band stamp or pressure sensitive label, whichever is most economical. Wo recommend that your plants begin labeling as soon as possible. If there are any. questions, let us know. , CY'L: jg C. V, L. SGP 0006780
