Just ask the Walker Towing Company of

Paducah, Kentucky. In 1980 Walkerbought the vessel, pictured above, from American

Commercial Barge Line, where it was known as the JEFFBOAT for 27 years.

Walker Towing renamed it, painted it and put it to work. And since that time, the "new" JAMES T. BELCHER has con- tinued to prove it's still a dependable work- horse that can get the job done ... a job it's been excelling at for three decades.

Now, there's no telling how long one of our vessels will last. But you can rest assured that mile after mile, year after

The MV Jeffboat in 1953. year, a Jeffboat vessel will continue to prove its worth.
