Hamburg, on the Ulbe, T5 mile1! from the
rUer's mouth at Cuxhaven, Is tho largest
port on the European continent. Despite
Its distance from tho ocean, the port of
Hamburg handled approximately 16,000
seagoing vessels carrying about 16,000,000
tons per annum Just prior to the war.
Tilerpool's foreign trade li more Important to the city than Us
own Industrial establishments. This great modern port, coupled with
that of Birkenhead, directly across the Mersey, probably has the
largest share of British trade with the American continent, Australia,
India and Africa. Liverpool ranks only after London as a commercial
port, and along Its great docks It Is said one can always find a ship
for any port In the world
Lherpool Is a shining example of the tremendous commercial
value a busy port Is to a city.
Rotterdam Is Holland's chief commercial
port and the center of the Rhine and Mouse
trade of the Netherlands. This port has a
sjstem of docks and liarbors among tho
most extensive In the world. Though ship
building Is Rotterdam's biggest Industry,
the port is one of Its most Important assets.
London Is situated 60 miles from tho open
sen on the Thames River and leads the cities
of the world In the aluo of its commerce.
Tonnage entering and leaving this, the
world's busiest port, prior to the war, totaled
approximately 20,000,000 tons annually.

Philadelphia Is One of the World's Six Great Fresh-Water Ports
H.

HILADELPHIA, Liverpool, London, Hamburg, Antwerp and Rotterdam all are fresh-water ports. Where freight handling and wharfage facilities are
equal, shipowners prefer to use fresh-water ports. In salt water, barnacles accumulate on ship bottoms and must be scraped off at great expense. In
fresh water the barnacles drop off.
Philadelphia is the best equipped port on the Atlantic seaboard in coaling facilities, fuel oil supply, fresh water for boilers and drinking, wharfage,
water-front warehousing, railroad and belt-line service, crane and derrick facilities, electric current available; and Philadelphia's port charges are
lower than any of her competitors.
By using their splendid home port facilities, Philadelphia shippers can avoid the cost of extra freight hauls, unnecessary lighterage and handling,
thus attaining price supremacy in the competitive markets of the world, reached by the 23 lines of steamships now using Philadelphia as their -American
terminal.
The Crew Levick Company believes in co-operative home port development. Great quantities of quality oils and greases, refined by the Crew
Levick Company exclusively from Pennsylvania paraffin base crude, have been shipped from their old Mifflin streetplant to all parts of the civilized
world. Ever keeping abreast of the times, the Crew Levick Company is now completing on Petty' s Island in the Delaware River the country's most up-to-date
export shipping station, thus taking advantage of their fresh-water home port and Us superior facilities.
