10 MARINE REVIEW March, ' 1925 Winter takes its toll in the cordage equipment of many vessels, and only rope made of the best material survives. Unknown brands of rope cheaply made become worthless as the ice-covering, bearing hundreds of pounds of additional weight, causes the fibre to snap and crack, leaving the rope devoid of strength. In direct contrast, consider the Columbian Brand. Running in one strand, throughout the entire length of the rope is a red, white and blue Tape-Marker which guarantees that every rope contain- ing this Marker is as good a rope as can be made and the Columbian Rope Company stands back of it.
