HOLD DOWN

Your Cost of Shipping

COMPETITION is keen these days. Merchandise must move faster. Your merchandise, to earn the profit to which you are entitled, should be routed VIA SEATTLE, if you are to successfully hold down YOUR cost of shipping.

The savings occur in time---(Seattle in several days nearer the Orient than other American ports)... and consequent expense. The quicker your goods arrive at their American destination, the sooner your pay- ment will be returned to you... PRO¬ VIDING, of course, that it, too, is mailed VIA SEATTLE.

Mammoth port facilities in seven great public terminals handling 10- 000,000 tons of freight per year.

Seventeen transpacific steamship lines-nix transcontinental railroads.
