American Steel 4 Wire Co.'s 



AMERICAN DREDGE ROPE 



A TESTIMONIAL 



MOREHOUSE, Mo., February 20, 1909. 

 AMERICAN STEEL & WIRE Co., 



Chicago, Ills. 

 Gentlemen: 



I formerly used a rope much advertised and of considerable merit. 

 I thought it to be the best rope on the market, but after your representative 

 induced me to try an American rope I found that I had been losing money 

 right along by not trying the American rope before. Your rope costs me 

 a little more than any on the market, but it wears longer and, therefore, in 

 the end it costs me less and is what I have been looking for for a long time, 

 i. e., a rope which is absolutely dependable and will not fail me at any time. 

 I could see but very little difference between the ropes which you made for 

 me at your Worcester, Mass., mill and the ropes which you sent me from 

 stock. They are all good. 



As long as you keep giving me the quality which you have done 

 during the past two years I do not want to bother experimenting with other 

 makes. I have tried them all. If you wish, use this testimonial freely. 

 It is not my purpose to disparage other makes of ropes as I have had 

 several very good makes from other manufacturers of wire rope. I have 

 found your rope to be the best and I think you are entitled to a letter from 

 me stating this. 



Yours very truly, 



(Signed) WM. CRUMPECKER, 



Dredge Contractor.
