How would you protect... r—l--i-l- l^LL 1 j-l^LL^ $144,000,000? $144,000,000? You could put it in a bank — or bury it on a desert island —but when it's 12 new cargo ships, there's only one best way to protect it.

We're talking about Amercoat Marine Pro- tective Coatings. That's what Lykes Bros. Steam- ship Co. specified for its 12 new Gulf Clipper

Class Ships built at Avondale Shipyards, Inc.

Amercoat's Dimetcote, the original 100% in- organic zinc silicate coating, protects the hulls, decks, deckhouses, booms and masts. In addition, the Dimetcote on the Clipper hulls is topcoated with Amercoat marine topcoats.

And there's a good reason.

Take Dimetcote, for example. Over 25 years of PROVED economy and dependability in vir- tually every kind of service. Result? No guess- work. You can specify it with confidence because you know that countless others have used this coating with extraordinary success in your service. And it's the same story with Amercoat's other marine coatings.
