"IN TRANSIT" time is reduced to an absolute minimum when your cargo noves via the Seattle short route. Not only does the shortness of this route make pos. sible an appreciable saving in transit time and a consequent quicker approach to your mar...... kets, but there is a proportionate. saving in your insurance and in- terest costs. Further economies are effected by the abolition of wharfage charges on transconti nental cargo within 10 days.
A comparative analysis of theaq factors will quickly convince you of the eco- nomical advantages of routing your cargoes “via SBATTLE."
