One of your neighbors is our repre

included in this picture taken at the
Alaska Steamship Company agents’ con
ference held in our Seattle headquarters
a few weeks ago.
All our Alaska agents were present
to discuss operating and traffic problems
with top company officials. These prob
lems were tackled with the objective of
improving freight and passenger service
and increasing efficiency.
This direct, down-to-earth way of
dealing with Alaskan shipping prob
lems is another of the many things The
Alaska Line is doing to make its service
more effective and to keep its rates as
reasonable as possible.
