Quick Shipment From Northwest

MacDougall & Cole of Los Angeles, who handle the line of the Peterman Manufacturing Company of Tacoma, Wash., report what they believe to be one of the fastest bits of service on record.

At 9:00 a.m., Saturday, April 1, they accepted an order from a Los Angeles lumber firm for a carload of panels and wallboard, the order being subject to shipment by boat leaving Tacoma the following Monday. A wire was dispatched to the Peterman plant and thirty minutes later a telephone call from the mill advised they could get the shipment out immediately. Specifications were then wired the mill, and an air mail letter received in Los Angeles Monday, April 3, informed them that the shipment was on the dock Saturday noon, just three hours after the order was placed in Los Angeles.
