"When that storm hit, I thought I'd lost my tow for sure -any other rope would have parted."

When the McAllister Towing Company first decided to use new blue-tinted Super 707 nylon rope, they didn't know what was in store for them. Captain Frank Bradley was to make a routine trip hauling two heavily laden mud dumpers. Out at sea, a sudden storm caught the captain and his tow. The load put on the

Super 707 rope was so great that the heavy- duty-steel thimble was bent. Yet the line held.

And everybody and everything got back safely.

The large lines of Super 707 nylon now available are the strongest ever made per unit of weight. In a recent test, the breaking strength of a 3-inch-diameter rope of Super 707 exceeded the Military Spec (MIL-R-17343-D) for nylon by twenty tons—although it contained less nylon than permitted by that spec.

And what that means to you is a tougher, more reliable rope. A longer-lasting rope-with greater resistance to abrasion.

So get Super 707 nylon rope. It's the tough one-tinted blue so you'll know it. For more information, write: Du Pont Company, Room 31H1, Wilmington, Delaware 19898.
