Maritime Reporter, February 1980

<BODY> <div> You can pay a little more now, or a lot more later. Jeffboat refuses to compromise on quality. Because we don't, the initial cost of a Jeffboat barge may sometimes be slightly higher. But the true cost of ownership is over the life of a vessel, not the initial investment. And no one can match the added service Jeffboat quality builds into our vessels. A Jeffboat-built barge offers superior fitting, joining, sizing and plate preparation. No detail goes overlooked. After a weld, for example, we eliminate the slag residue to be sure the weld is true and strong. When you build a barge this way it may cost you slightly more initially. But on the true bottom line—many extra years of de- pendable performance with minimal maintenance problems- it's actually going to cost a good deal less. And we'd be happy to help you compare your barge specifica- tions against ours so you can see for yourself the reason for these savings. America's Largest Inland Shipbuilder P. O.
