ALASKA
PIER 42— THE ALASKA TERMINAL
The FINEST teamn^ xaciiitics ever offered
Alaska will soon be placed into use by
the Alaska Steamship Company, when it
opens its modern Seattle headquarters-—
the new Alaska Terminal, Pier 42.
This most modern terminal facility was
engineered and built for cargo. Pier 42
offers a diversity of methods by which
cargo can be received at the pier — a
greater number of trucks can be unloaded
at one time because of the enlarged facil
ities and the use of tail-gate deliver)7, there
by minimizing expensive standby time;
freight cars can be unloaded onto the
dock or directly aboard waiting vessels;
taxis and automobiles bearing passengers
will drive directly to modern waiting
rooms soon to be constructed; new equip
ment will be added, the mobility of which
will increase the already high versatility
of the new terminal. The use of these new
facilities will result in economy in time
and labor, and better service to Alaska
people and their industries.
The Alaska Steamship Company has done
its utmost to offer Alaska a progressive
program of passenger and cargo service.
After only two months back in private
operation, the company has been able to
increase its fleet to seventeen ships. And
now, the leasing of facilities at Pier 42 —
the Alaska Terminal — from the Port of
Seattle marks another step in the program
of constantly expanding sendee to Alaska.
