convenience rests with the prompt, regular flow of freight. In this respect the Alaska Steam

for your freight.
Take a tip from successful Alaskan
merchants who base their judgment
of transportation service on the de
pendability and performance of the
carrier. Every time you order be sure
to specify—"Ship Via Alaska Steam
ship Company.”

est confidence in promptness and
dependability — Only The Alaska
