K.IDDING aside, it is no joke to get a package of merchandise that is falling apart at the seams,
that has been damaged and perhaps pilfered in transit. The Alaska Steamship Company is working
continually, in cooperation with the Seattle Chamber of Commerce and other interested parties,
to eliminate this condition through education of shippers to the need for substantial packaging
on all shipments to Alaska.
To assist in this program, the Alaska Steamship Company now offers Alaskan merchants and
individuals a special traffic bulletin covering the proper packaging of th 2 items that have given
the greatest trouble.
Much progress can already be reported in the improvement of packaging by houses in Seattle,
Tacoma and other Pacific Northwest points that have been exposed to the local packaging program.
But many suppliers in other parts of the country are not yet acquainted with the packaging require
ments of Alaska shipments. Many of these concerns are still using low-grade containers of inferior
material brought on by wartime shortages.
Let these suppliers know your packaging needs. Proper packaging is valuable insurance. Although
it is often possible to recover damage losses through claims, you can never recover the profit you
would have made had that merchandise arrived in top condition.
»
Your local Alaska Steamship Company agent will be glad to furnish you copies of the packaging
bulletin. Ask him for as many as you need; include specific packaging instructions with each order,
"iour merchandise should then arrive just as you want it—in first-class condition.
Sincerely,
ALASKA STEAMSHIP COMPANY -
