Low Insurance and Storage Rates on Public Docks

SEATTLE

Seventy-five per cent of the silk exported to America moves via the Seattle short route. It's good business!

The shortness of this route means less time "in transiť” and quicker deliveries. Less time "in' transit" means lower insurance and interest rates. These factors are vital to the silk shipper. They are equally vital to you, for they mean sales advantages and ship. ping economies.

Just as it's good business for the silk shipper to route vir SEAT- TLE'so also is it good business for you!
