GO DOWN AND SEE FOR YOURSELF, FOLKS!

MOW that the port electic.. is over, and the atmosphere is cleared of the clamor of frenzied and disappointed newspaper and political grouches, why don't you, Mr. and Mrs. Citizen of Seattle, go down to the

waterfront, and see for yourselves the great projects which YOU own?

SEATTLE IS TODAY DOING A FOREIGN BUSINESS OF $1,000,000 A DAY. Does that mean anything to YOU? It does. It means a development that will make for permanent instead of spasmodic

prosperity. It means that all over the state of Washington, the farmers are now looking to Seattle, more than ever before, as their best shipping center, their best and most convenient warehouse city.

Why? Why is Seattle today a bigger world port than Baltimore, San Francisco, Los Angeles, New Orleans?

Answer: The facilities furnished by the Seattle port commission- the facilities and the reasonable rates- Farmers all over .the state know about this. They are well acquainted with the port of Seattle warehouses,

docks, grain elevators, etc. The people of Seattle are not nearly as familiar with the projects they own as they should be. Get acquainted. The election is over, and no political frenzy need prejudice you, one

way or another. Go down to the water front and see for yourselves. See the tremendous business being conducted there—see how it employs hundreds of people—see how it makes for permanent prosperity.

LEARN FOR YOURSELVES. AND THEN THERE WILL BE NO CHANCE OF ANY SOUR-BALLED NEWSPAPER OR POLITICIAN EVER BAMBOOZLING YOU.
