Containers Shipped
Chicago To Hawaii
In Seven Days
The fastest land-sea freight movement from Chicago to Hawaii in transportation history—seven days—was completed Tuesday,
May 4, when the Matson contain- ership Hawaiian Enterprise dock- ed in Honolulu.
Three containers, loaded with general merchandise, left the Chi- cago consolidating station of the
Hawaiian Island Freight Associa- tion via Santa Fe Railway April 27 and were loaded aboard the
Hawaiian Enterprise at Matson's
Oakland container yard early Fri- day, April 30. The ship sailed a few hours later.
Eugene R. Swanson, Matson's general sales manager, said the rush shipment was in response to the freight customer's request to connect the Chicago containers with the Friday sailing of the
Hawaiian Enterprise. Mr. Swanson said excellent coordination by Mat- son and Santa Fe operating rep- resentatives made the record ship- ment possible.
Matson regularly makes Midwest to Hawaii container deliveries in nine or ten days. ®

For low maintenance cost, use
Tro-Mar SV100.
Typical results in over 500 ships using Tro-
Mar SV 100: • More than a year between piston overhauls. • Wear rates so low that liners may last 20 years.
We get these results despite the revolution that has occurred in crosshead engine opera- tion. In 20 years, heavy fuel has replaced marine diesel, BMEP's have doubled, horse- power per cylinder has quadrupled. Tro-
Mar SV, our premium cylinder oil, meets the test.
We do it with the right base stock and a unique additive package: high alkalinity to fight corrosion, detergency to keep your engine clean, a special anti-wear agent.
To learn more, call your local Esso man. He'll be glad to work with you.
