20 Tae Marine REVIEW MULHOLLAND'S HATCH FASTENER (PATENTED) This fastener secures with one grip and in one operation the hatch cover, tarpaulin and batten. It has held hatch coamings and hatch covers together in storms that have torn the deck itself off the vessel. It can be applied to steel hatches as well as to wooden ones. Testimonials received from vessel masters prove that it relieves them from the fear of a loosened hatch. JAMES DAVIDSON Bay City, Mich. Dec. 11, 1907 Capt. M. Mulholland, Cleveland, O. Dear Sites ---- Answering your favor of December 10th, relative to the experience we have had with your Patent Hatch Fast- eners, will state that we have equipped a great many steamers, barges and schooners with your Patent Hatch Fasteners, and we have never had any complaint. They seem to hold the hatch covers and tarpaulins on firmly, and have given us the best of satis- faction in every way, shape and man- ner, and we will be very glad to give the result of our experience to any person that you may refer to us. Yours very truly, JAMES Davipson. G. A. TOMLINSON Lake Transportation Duluth, Minn. Dec. 12, 1907 Dear Sir:-- The Mulholland Patent Hatch Fast- ener is installed on several vessels of my fleet. They have been in use for four years on two of the ships. I have experimented with four other hatch fasteners and have no _ hesitation in Saying that the Mulholland design is superior to any fastener with which I have had experience. The three ships now building for the companies oper- ated by me will be equipped with Mulholland fasteners. Very truly, Ge A. TOMLINSON. LO Capt. M. Mulholland, % M. A.
