March, 1927 MARIN © RE Vik Ww 39 There is a reason for all things. Why has Columbian Tape-Marked Pure Manila Rope gained its enviable reputation as a Leader—as a rope for which there is a tre- mendous demand in the marine trade?

It is reasonable to believe that all during this era of mechanical improvement, many changes have been made in machinery and equipment for rope making. Each improvement in machinery has meant a corresponding improvement in rope. You can therefore understand what it means to the user of Columbian Rope to realize that his rope was made in the world’s most modern Cordage Mills. #'#" ~=When you take Columbian Tape-Marked Rope aboard, you also have the added satisfaction of knowing that it is guaranteed by its manufacturer.
