AWO Distributes

New Edition Of 'Big Load Afloat'

The American Waterways Op- erators, Inc., Washington, D.C., has begun distribution of a new, revised edition of AWO's compre- hensive book on the barge and towing industry.

The first copies were distributed to the AWO 'board of directors at their fall quarterly meeting in

Philadelphia, Pa., September 19- 20, 1973. Copies will then go auto- matically to all AWO representa- tives and alternate representatives, and to fill the hundreds of requests on file in the Washington office from schools, libraries, Government agencies, press media, and others.

The new edition of "Big Load

Afloat," a project of the AWO public relations committee, is the up-to-the-minute story of the barge and towing industry; the story of why this industry moves 16 per- cent of U.S. domestic commerce at the lowest cost of any mode of transportation.

The 164-page illustrated book is loaded with photographs, charts, maps and informative text that will give any reader a fascinating ad- venture into an ever-growing in- dustry.

An entire new section, "Water- way Economics," covers every as- pect of the economics of waterway transportation. There are several new chapters covering such sub- jects as safety, environment, ocean 'barging, and other aspects of the barge and towing industry. "Big Load Afloat" is available from The American Waterways
