Dear Phog:

All naval shore stations procure cargo nets from Great Lakes, Illinois
and our Navy Catalogues do not list the source of supply. We were,
however, able to find two companies who classify themselves as the source
of suoply for cargo nets. Contact the 2amaar Anchor Blasting Mat and Rope
Company, 245 E. 32nd Street, New York City, or the Superior Fire Equip-
ment Corporation, 235 E. 42nd Street, New York City.

We have no knowledge as to the exact cost of thesé cargo nets, but my
guess is, they are quite high because of the shortage of rope fiber.
With best wishes, I am.
