VALLEY CO-OP
FIRST BIG USER OF
BONDED WAREHOUSE
The Matanuska Valley Farm
er’s Cooperating Association is
the first large-scale customer to
use Alaska’s first public bonded
warehouse in The Alaska Rail
road terminal yards, it was an
nounced this week by Jack An
derson, president of Tatco Ware
house and Storage Co., Inc.
The Co-Op will store all of its
cartons from Fibreboard [Pro
ducts, Inc., also milk powder and
raw materials used in the manu
facture of recombined milk for
the military at both Anchorage
and Fairbanks.
Tatco will not only store sup
plies for the Matanuska Farmers
Co-Op, but will also move sup
plies in carload lots for shipping
to the Palmer and Fairbanks
plants and dispatching items as
I needed. Tatco is able to send mix
ed carloads at a carload rate,
where the Co-Op would have to
pay higher rates on minimum
| shipments if it were shipping in~
; dependency.
Anderson also said that the
warehouse has spared the Co-Op
the necessity of capitalizing ad
ditional warehouse facilities and
also released working capital
from users by virtue of the fact
that manufacturers sell their
merchandise as delivered from
the warehouse.
commanding officer, U. S. Army
Alaska Communication System in
Seattle said that this commercial
long distance service in these re
mote areas was made possible
through the use of recently con
structed White Alice and DEW
line facilities.
