Your ship can come in... at LOCKHEED!

When It does, you've got It made, because we can repair anything from tugs to tankers— ferries to freighters — refrigerator ships to icebreakers.

And whatever the damage, Lockheed puts it all back together for you. Fast, but good.

Speed is our specialty, quality our criteria.

Service Is our total goal, so everything at

Lockheed — our people, procedures and fa- cilities— is geared to get your ship up, out and back in business efficiently, on a 24-hour 'round-the-clock basis.

You will appreciate our competitive prices.

And our work. Plus our service. So when your ship needs to come in for repairs, ask our ship repair manager (Ext. 631) for a date and quote. He'll keep both.
