Reduce Your Shipping Costs.

GATEWAY TO AMERICAN MARKETS

Yum one day to one week less time

FOUR transpacific cargo is "in transic"

when you ship via Scattle!

This means corresponding savings in your insurance and interest charges. Then, too, handling, storage,and insur- ance costs are lower at the Seattle Pub- lic Terminals. That's a further saving.

No effort has been spared in protect- ing the Port of Seattle terminals against fire. Automatic sprinkler and fire alarm systems, fire extinguishers, chemicals and hose reels, fire walls form an effect- ive safeguard. Watchmen make rounds at regular intervals- in fact every modern fire protection method is em- ployed to make the terminals safe.

This protection reduces shippers" insurance rates to a minimum. Ship via Seattle and benefit by these shipping economies.
