tt^rksh kids wlio thought it great fun to
a yell “get a horse” at hapless motor-
ists around the turn of the century soon
had to eat their words.
Cigar-smoking Barney Oldfield put
them to shame on New Year’s Day, 1904,
by driving the famous Ford “999’ racer
at the amazing speed of 91.4 miles an
hour to set an early world's record.
Many mechanical problems had to be
overcome to put Old “999" in racing
w..... For one thing, Barney Oldfield
needed a practical sheet packing for cyl-
inder head gaskets. None was available.
He took that problem to the old Johns-
Manville plant at Milwaukee. J-M pro-
duced the needed packing—and has been
servicing the automotive industry with
packings, oil seals, gaskets and friction
materials ever since.
Today, the 101-year-old Johns-
Manville organization has 36 plants and
4 mines in the United States, Canada,
Mexico and Belgium. They produce a
wide variety of building materials and
industrial products for homes and indus-
try throughout the world.
