EATTLE

GATEWAY TO AMERICAN MARKETS

NEATTLE is over 500 miles nearer

Sto Yokohama than any other Pacific Coast port. By the "estab- lished trade route" via Honolulu, Seattle is nearly 1,500 miles nearer.

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, Hong Kong and Manila.

The saving in time effected by ship- ping via Seattle means quicker deliv- eries, less "in transit" time and pro- portionate savings in insurance and interest charges. Are YOU enjoying these advantages?

Cargoes are transferred direct from ship to car and vice-versa, insuring dispatch and protection against loss.

As you are aware, we are to-day honouring the anniversary of the birth of England's Soldier Patron Saint-St. George-and I venture to suggest it is most appropriate that one of the major events of the day should be a gathering of this nature-A gathering of the various nationalities which go to muke up that wonderful brother hood of the British Empire.
