 Asbestos.—The Ruberoid Division, General Aniline & Film Corp.
(formerly the Vermont Asbestos Mines Division of the Ruberoid Co.), produced
chrysotile asbestos. The mill and quarry are located on Belvidere Mountain,
about 6 miles southwest of Lowell, Orleans County. The primary uses for chrysotile
asbestos are for textiles, asbestos cement products, paper stock, and miscellaneous
purposes. 
Some tailings were sold to the Vermont Highway Department for roadstone.

 For its outstanding safety record in 1967, The Ruberoid Company received
from the Bureau of Mines the Certificate of Achievement in safety. While
operating an open pit mine, the company compiled a total of 131,079 man-hours
worked without a disabling work injury.
