NOTICE TO SHIPPERS
A large scale building season is rap
idly approaching that may thrust upon
The Alaska Railroad the greatest vol
ume of freight ever handled. In order
to help "level off" the load and assure
prompt service, shippers are urged to
take advantage of SLACK shipping
months, namely January and Febru
ary, and ship now.
The Alaska Railroad is desirous of
providing the best possible service. That
aim can best be met and shippers can
be better assured of receiving their
freight promptly if they immediately
bring their merchandise into the Ter
