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 furnishel and equipped with beds-nor. berths. Each room has hot and cold running water, also faris, wardrobe, thermos bottles and reading larops. Private bath and showers in connection with many roops 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.
