April, 1923 MARINE REVIEW 11 The Tape-Marker doesn’t actually Increase Strength but Does Assure Strength! The red, white and blue Tape-Marker which can be found throughout the length of every Columbian Tape-Marked Pure Manila Rope, neither adds to, nor detracts from the strength of that rope. But, it does most emphatically assure the user of super-strength and extreme wearing qualities. : The significant message ‘‘Guaranteed Rope’’ printed on this marker is cer- tified by the Columbian Rope Company’s signature appearing immediately beneath that message. What more satisfactory and tangible guarantee can be found anywhere? And permanent, too, for it is in the rope until that rope is completely destroyed. There is a guaranteed Columbian Tape-Marked Pure Manila Rope of the correct size and ‘‘lay’’ for every purpose. Our wide experience is at your service. Write today stating your requirements and we will cheerfully advise by return mail which rope will serve you best. There’s no obligation.
