NEW BEDFORD MARITIME MANILA ROPE 
NOTICE 
By order of the Office of Production Management all manila rope has been 
withdrawn from civilian use for the duration of the national emergency. As 
a substitute for manila rope we offer New Bedford pure Sisal rope, which 
is made with the same care and attention as was given to the manufacture of 
New Bedford Maritime Manila Rope. We suggest that one fourth larger 
rope be used than formerly, to compensate for its 25% lower breaking 
strength.

“A tree expert should have no secrets in regard 
to his methods and practices. If he is a real sci- 
entific worker he will be glad to share his con- 
clusions with others who are endeavoring to learn 
the best methods. Home owners welcome the op- 
portunity to learn why certain methods are good 
practice. The tree expert should be willing to ex- 
plain his reasons for his recommendations. He 
will not only describe his methods to his clients 
but he also will be willing to inform the public.”
