Becomes Insulation Division of Paraffine

San Francisco, July 2, Lg48-Plant Rubber and Asbestos Works, for many years a corporation wholly owned by The Parafifine Companies, fnc., will officially on July 1st become the "Insulation Division" of Paraffine. Nationally known in the high temperature insulation field, "Plant" was established in 1898. During the war its factories received the Army-Navy "E" award for outstanding quality production of critical insulation materials.

This announcement was made this week by R. H. Chase, who will be the manager of Paraffine's Insulation Division. Chase was formerly vice president and general manager of "Plant" and will continue to administer the policies of the Insulation Division from Paraffine's home office at 475 Brannan Street, San Francisco.

Chase emphasized: "The insulations marketed by the 'Pabco' Division will be identical in specifications and standards to those manufactured under the familiar 'Plant' trade-mark. These will include Pabco 'Precision-Molded' 85/o Magnesia Insulation and Prasco High Temperature Insulation. They 'ivill continue to be manufactured at the company's factories at Redwood City and Emeryville, California."

Chase further explained: "This change is simply a change in brand name and company name-from 'Plant' to 'Pabco'."

J. C. Voiles, who has been with "Plant" for fifteen years, rvill assist Chase in San Francisco as Regional manager for the Pacific Coast, and serve nationally as staff assistant in connection with Engineering functions.
