Excerpt:
“Sucking up harbor bottoms can quickly cost the life of ordinary suction hose. It is a tribute to our technicians that dredging companies usually look to HEWITT for the super product their needs require. Up through the length of rubber lined hose are forced sharp, grinding sand and gravel…knife-edged shells…corrosive substances that would soon ear the heart out of any ordinary rubber.”

This is a 88 yr. old original vintage ad removed from a 1936 publication and is not a reproduction of any kind.
