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 szeady. All are oil bumers, swift express liners,

The public woms are luxuriously appointed and inviting.

All iterooms are ourside, splendidly furnished and equipped with beds not berths. Each room has hot and enld running water, also fans, wardrobe, thermos bottles and reading lamps. Private bath and showers in connection with many rooms perfect the travel confort 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 sports, open air swimming pool, movies, evening dances, everything has been done to make your trip a 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 Dolla Steamship and American Mail Lines have made these giant passenger liners out.. standingly popular among travelers.
