tow

This clue might be a double definition.

'pull' is the first definition.
(I know that tow is a type of draw)

'out of town' is the second definition.
The answer and definition can be both acts as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe there's a link between them I don't understand?

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for tow that I've seen before include "Pull along (a vehicle)" , "Pull (with rope)" , "Haul" , "Pull or drag along behind" , "Drag along behind, say barge" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
