Glass wool and asbestos at the exhibition, 1937

Crowds move past a stand lettered Deutsche Kap-Asbestwerke A.-G. and Gossler Glasgespinst-Fabrik, Bergedorf-Hamburg, a man in spectacles walking by with a woman in a small hat; the camera then reads the lettering on a glass showcase advertising decorative fabrics of glass wool, resistant to fire and damp. Asbestos and glass fibre were praised in 1937 as modern German materials; the dangers of asbestos were not yet generally recognised.
