Tying up tons of tanker is K-ting's specialty .. . and the tonnage today is something else, what with containerships, barges, cargoliners and 300,000-dwt. mechanized mammoths of sea-going shipping.

No tinker toys, these tankers require super-strong lines for docking, mooring and anchoring. That's where

K-ting nylon Pli-moor® line takes hold. Remarkably strong and durable, nylon outlasts ordinary rope 4 to 1 ... and its superior strength permits use of smaller, lighter lines for easy handling and storage, plus extra safety.

In exclusive 8-strand Pli-moor construction, this line renders well on bitts with never a kink or hockle. Resist- ant to rot, mildew and abrasion, it stores wet without damage . . . and resistance to chemicals and weathering is excellent. Handles surge and shock loads well.

Available in Pli-moor construction through 15" cir- cumference, K-ting nylon is the heavy-duty marine line.
