sri a Take aboard -a balanced rope—the only rope that will always give the proper service. A balanced rope is one in which all its qualities are equalized, one counterbalancing another, so that maximum service will be derived under any condition. Some ropes have great strength but wear out quickly. In Columbian, strength and endurance are so perfectly balanced that it possesses great strength as well as exceptional endurance. Scientific manufacture and cor- ENDURANCE WATERPROOFING rect grade of fibre make this possible. In some ropes, lubrication is neglected to attain high waterproofing qualities and ropes insufficiently lubricated do not last long. Neither quality is emphasized in Columbian at the expense of the other. All Columbian is not only waterproofed but it is also thor- ‘oughly lubricated. Buy the perfectly balanced Columbian Tape-Marked Rope. Its real value is ap- preciated aboard ship when good rope is needed.
