September, 1922 World Wide | Freight Service Our reputation for dependability in freight carrying, as well as in passenger service, has been won by regularity and frequency of sailings. The American Line, for in- stance, first to re-establish direct service to Germany after the war, has not missed a scheduled sailing since December, 1919. Some steamer of the International Mer- cantile Marine Company sails nearly every day, and-you can route your freight by one of our Lines with assur- ance of prompt loading and delivery on scheduled time. The high classification of our steamers obtains for shippers most favorable in- surance rates. Efficient handling and careful safeguarding of freight result in minimum losses. 120 Steamers—1,200,000 Tons AMERICAN LINE LEYLAND LINE WHITE STAR LINE REGULAR SAILINGS FROM Portland, Mo.

H.&A. “‘Blue Heart’? Manila Rope is spun from special quality pure manila}fibre carefully selected by our own experts. It,is as strong as a rope can be made. Every foot of it is guaranteed to exceed the Government specifications for strength by a considerable margin—stronger than the require- ments of the U. S. Shipping Board for equipping all its vessels. It is spun with the skill of more than 50 years’ experi- ence, and is laid so that it is very pliable and éasy to work with, even in very large sizes. Ten ote. Proper lubrication without overloading with oil and grease insures long’resistance to wear and weather. A “Blue Heart” runs through every H. & A. “Blue Heart” Manila Rope. When you buy, untwist the strands and look for this guarantee of pure selected manila fibre, excess strength and long wear. We also make best marine oakum—our well-known “Mayflower” brand—and a full line of tarred fittings consisting of marline, ratline, houseline, hambroline and spun yarn.
