Freight Rates across the Pacific advance Jan. 1, 1916
Order now and only pay $1.50 per hundred pounds from Chicago to Yokohoma, Kobe, Shanghai, Hongkong, Manila
Our Missionary Bureau takes this opportunity to announce to our customers and their friends in America that our low carload rate of $1.50 per hundred pounds will only be in effect until Dec. 31, 1915. The rate is so absurdly low compared with other war-time ocean freight rates now in effect the world over, that we must concede the rail and ocean carriers are quite justified in advancing it.
After Jan. 1, next, the rate will be $1.75 for each hundred pounds. This is not much of an advance and the new rate will still be lower than any other rate that we know of for anywhere near as long a haul.
Our Missionary Leader
We specialize in shipments to all Mission fields. Whether you buy of us or not, you can save money by having us attend to your shipments. Write to Mr. M. D. Howell, Manager, Missionary Bureau for our circular of shipping and packing information, and our special circular of folding organs suitable for Missionaries and church workers.
You still will be able to purchase household necessities, cloth, food, etc., from us at a great saving over what you would pay for such articles elsewhere.
It was the intention of the carriers to advance this freight rate much earlier, but we induced them to postpone it until January first so as to give our customers an opportunity to place at least one more order under the old rate.
If you are thinking of shipping goods to the Orient next Spring, better ship now and save 25c on each hundred pounds. This is quite an item on a big heating outfit or a lot of hardware for a hospital, a church bell, a fire-proof safe, a piano or other heavy goods.
Whether you are at home or abroad you can cut down the high cost of living by purchasing many of your supplies from us. Four million families regularly supply their needs from Montgomery Ward & Co.
