At the present time; more than 1,000 British Merchant! ships are furnished with these libraries.

All libraries conform to a standard classification which has been specially adopted by a competent library committee, and our long and unique experience which has brought us in close personal touch with the men has proved without doubt that our selection of books is one which is beat suit-
