Not An Idle Moment

An exciting match of tennis, a game of shuffleboard, or quoits- then a turn about the decks. You will keenly appreciate the unrestricted opportunity for recreation and exercise aboard the giant President Liners.

The magnificent President Lines are broad of beam and exceptionally steady. All are off burners, swift express liacts.

The public rooms are luxuriously appointed and inviting..

All staterooms are outside, splendidly furnished and equipped with beds-noc berths. Each room has hot and cold running water, also fans, wardrobe, thermos bottles and reading lamps. Private bach and showers 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 adds zest to your dining.

The decks are spacious. The Glass-enclosed Promenade always popular. Deck spores, open air swimming pool, movies, evening dances--everything has been done to make your trip 2 happy one. Unexcelled anywhere is the courteous and efficient service accorded you by the trained personnel aboard the President Liners,

The great frequency of sailings and the liberal stopover privileges of the Dollar Steamship and American Mall Lines have made these giant passenger liners out standingly popular among travelers.
