SHIP VIA

SYSTEM

For Quicker

Deliveries

In American Markets:

SEATTLE

GATEWAY TO AMERICAN MARKETS

SEATTLE is over 500miles nearer

to 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. Write Traffic Department for full particulars
