Plain Facts About Columbian ope MARINE SERIES NUMBER FOUR Our Own Purchasing Organiza- tion in the Philippine Islands. The Columbian Rope Company is the only cordage manufactory maintaining its own purchasing organization and fibre warehouse in the Philippine Islands. This is another plain fact exclusive to Columbian which means a great deal to the rope user. Located as it is in the heart of the best fibre producing province on the Islands, the Columbian Warehouse contains the pick of the fibre, specially selected for Columbian Prod- ucts by our own fibre buyers. It therefore means that Columbian Tape-Marked Pure Manila Rope “The Guaranteed Rope”’ is a quality product from the start. From the Philippine warehouse, this excellent fibre is shipped direct to Auburn, N. Y., where in the world’s most modern cordage mill it is made into the famous Columbian Tape-Marked Pure Manila Rope, which is so tangibly guaranteed by the manufacturer.
