The attachment point for the tow line is at the tail of the aircraft in a releaseable tail hook/clamp (which has a control to release the tow rope in the cabin) and the treble hook and excess line is held in the cabin through the window during take off and then thrown out the window away and down after takeoff to deploy it.
I have not seen or heard of a Skymaster being used for banner towing, but if the tow rope release hook/clamp could be attached at the base of one of the booms/tail and the treble hook/line not get into the rear engine during takeoff and when it is thrown out/deployed from the cabin -- I guess it could be done.
Normally, a single engine aircraft is used -- due to operating costs.
