I Red Cross Shipments Now At
Reduced Rates.

Wells Fargo Express Co., has re
ceived notification from the Seattle
[ office of the big express compan;
j to the effect that all Red Cross pack
i ages sent by express will be assessei
at two-thirds of the regular firs

as follows:
Seattle, May 8, 1918
“This will be your authority foi
assessing two-thirds first class rate:
on shipments handled for the Ret
' Cross.
“Receipts and way bills should bt
endorsed “Charitable shipment, ac

worthy cause.

day, do hereby, jointly and sev
erely, each for ourself and not one
for the other, challenge Bill Packer. 1
