"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 I ines 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-diameterropeof 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.
