December, 1926 MARINE REV Ew ol SCHOONER “‘COLUMBIA'’ DURING ELIMINATION RACES OFF GLOUCESTER, OCTOBER, 1926. Pat’d Aug. 3, 1926. Reg. U. S. Pat. Off. WHITLOCK | WATER CORDAGE used exclusively for running rigging on “CoLUMBIA” and “Henry Forp”’ It is significant that both contenders in the elimination races for American fishing schooner supremacy preferred Whitlock WATERFLEX rope exclusively for their rigging. After the contests had been com- pleted, both Captains were enthusiastic in their praise of this cordage. WATERFLEX rope is water-resisting and practically unaffected by salt air or continued immersion in salt water. The fibre remains per- manently lubricated. Our claims of absolute superiority for WATERFLEX cordage are again substantiated by its selection for use on these vessels.
