The difference in time is proportion- ate-running from a day to a week, depending upon the speed of vessel. The same is relatively true of Kobe, Shanghai, Hongkong and Manila.
The saving in time effected by shipping of Seattle means quicker deliveries, less “in transit" time and proportionate savings in insurance and interest charges. Are YOU enjoying these advantages?
