NewYork career launched ^ -Hv- auccessiui marine careers Degin wnn iv-ung. wrthK-tte The new tug Gillen Brothers has a lot going for it as it reports for duty in New York and other East Coast har-bors. All the rope aboard was produced by K-ting . . . a fast start for any marine career. Selected for heavy duty on the tug are K-ting 3-strand nylon and Docrylene® line, the toughest synthetics going. K-ting nylon rope minimizes wet shrinkage, prevents unraveling, makes splicing easy. Docrylene rope by K-ting encases polypropylene cores in individual spun polyester jackets for insulation against heat and friction. Fights abrasion, too. Rugged K-ting ropes are also available in polypro-pylene, polyethylene, natural fibers and special blends. Successful marine careers begin with K-ting. CATING ROPE WORKS, INC. MASPETH, N. Y.
