SMALL TAKE
The Lure of the Sea There is a real thrill to sailing on a President Liner! These giant ships possess a personality that is pleasing and inviting. You become conscious of feeling right at home. Your voyage is sure to be a pleasant one.
The magnificent President Liners are broad of beam and exceptionally steady. All are oil burners, swift express liners.:
The public rooms are luxuriously appointed and inviting.
All staterooms are outside, splendidly turnished and equipped with beds-not beatha. Each room has hot and cold running water, also fans, wardrobe, thermos boucles and reading lamps. Private bath and showces in connection with many rooms perfect the travel comfort of these giant passenger liners.
The Cuisine is world famous. The deliciously prepared menus will delight you, And how the orchestra adde zest to your dining.
The decks are spacious. The Glass-enclosed Promenade always popular. Deck sports, open air swimming pool, movies, evening dances, everything has been done to make your trip a happy one. Unexcelled anywhere is the court.com and efficient servies accorded you by the trained personnel aboard the President Liners
The great frequency of railings and the liberal stopover privileges of the Dollar Scrimship and American Mail Lines have made these giant passenger liners cat- mindingly popular among travelers.
