~ PATENTED MORE TOWING MILES PER DOLLAR It's a fact. Columbian Manila Tow-Ro, with its new patented con- struction gives more service for your money than you can obtain in any other brand of towing line. Look at this example of service given by a Columbian Line: Several months ago, a 2,000 ton drydock section was towed from New York to New Orleans, a distance of 1,800 miles. The towing line was Columbian. This line has been used almost constantly since and in March it was called upon to repeat the New York to New Orleans tow with another 2,000 ton section. Although heavy seas were encountered on both tows, the Columbian Line functioned perfectly. The towing company reports this line is in “splendid con- dition and good for much more service.” There is no question that Columbian Tow-Ro is the greatest value ina towing line, because it is faithfully giving more towing miles per dollar. And that’s what counts. COLUMBIAN ROPE COMPANY 342-90 Genesee Street Auburn, N. Y. “‘The Cordage City’ Branches: New York Chicago Boston New Orleans Philadelphia 6 MARINE REVIEw—July, 1931
