I WANTED QUALITY •I SPECIFIED HYDRODYIME"

When E. Thomas Drennan, President of Sioux City and New Orleans Barge Lines, decided to order a new towboat to supplement a large number of barges St. Louis Ship is building for them, he gave the matter a great deal of thought. He gathered all available data and talked to other knowledgeable rivermen. And Tom Drennan listened. Sioux City never bought a towboat from St. Louis Ship before.

But all the facts led to (HVDnaDYNE When we asked Mr. Drennan why he selected St.

Louis Ship... he replied simply: "I wanted quality. I specified Hydrodyne." The 7000 HP, twin screw M/V Robert Crown was the result. After a new series of tests performed at the Netherlands

Model Basin, the exclusive Hydrodyne design has now been more highly refined, to produce even greater maneuverability, without sacrificing any of the famous Hydrodyne PUSH. Remember, higher ef- ficiency makes more push with less fuel. When you want PUSH and Quality, call us at (314) 638-4000. ® ST.
